"How Good Do You Run, Bro?"

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Steven Buckner raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and James Mackey defended his big blind.

The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Mackey checked. Buckner bet 40,000 and Mackey called.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} and both players checked to the river, which was the {9-Hearts}. Mackey led out for 160,000 and Buckner asked for a count. He cut out some chips and analyzed his stack to see how much he had. Eventually, he called.

"Nine," said Mackey as he tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for trip nines.

"Jesus Christ!" exclaimed Buckner, mucking his hand and accidentally flashing the {10-Clubs}. "F!@#ing float!" he continued. "It's so sick how you run. So sick, bro. How good do you run, bro? How do you run, bro? How do you run, bro? How do you run, bro?" Buckner asked over and over again. "Nice hand."

Mackey scooped the pot and has just crossed the million-chip mark.
