Buckner Takes out a Short Stack
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
The smell of cigar was in the air and sure enough Steven "Cuz" Buckner was in a hand.
The player in middle position raised to 1,500 and the small blind Steven Buckner and the big blind both called.
The flop came the 3♥6♠K♥ and everyone checked.
The turn was the 4♠ and Buckner bet 3,300 and the middle position player called.
The river was the 2♠ and Buckner pushed his stack in and was quickly called.
Middle Position Player: 5♥5♠ for the straight.
Steven Buckner: K♠3♠ for the flush.
Buckner stated, "I just told this guy beside me that I was going to take that short stacked player out".
