Bui's Aces Hold to Knockout Opponent
The early position player opened for 1,300. After a call from middle position and the cutoff, Dean Bui reraised to 5,300 from the small blind. The early position player called before a shove came from middle position. After the cutoff got out of the way, Bui made the call before the early position player got out of the way as well. Bui and his opponent had nearly equal stacks, with Bui being the big stack by fewer than 1,000 chips.
Opponent: 
Dean Bui: 
With Bui already well ahead, he picked up a set on the 
board, leaving his opponent drawing nearly dead. The board finished out 
, changing neither players hand. After a quick count of both player's stacks to ensure Bui did indeed cover his opponent, he raked in the pot, more than doubling his stack.
