Kostner Almost Quadruples Up After Cracking the Aces of Bueno & Surkamp
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Patrick Bueno had made it 60,000 and Stefan Kostner had called on the button before Florian Surkamp made it 155,000 from the small blind. Nebojsa Musulin then cold-called from the big blind and Bueno made it 500,000. Kostner called off his stack of 250,000, and Surkamp shoved for 855,000. Musulin folded, and Bueno quickly called.
Stefan Kostner: J♠10♠10♦8♥ 
Florian Surkamp: A♣A♦Q♠7♦
Patrick Bueno: A♠A♥7♥3♣
Bueno had a chance to eliminate two players in a huge pot but would need some help as his seven-three to go with his aces didn't have any suits. Kostner was looking to almost quadruple up and did just that as the runout of Q♣J♥4♣9♣6♣ gave him a straight. Bueno and Surkamp chopped the side pot with pocket aces.
