Big Slick Helps Buchta to a Double-Up
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Aflalo raised the button to 80,000 and Simon Buchta made it 300,000 from the small blind. Aflalo called.
With just 175,000 behind, Buchta shoved the Q♠K♠10♥ flop, and Aflalo quickly called.
Simon Buchta: A♦K♦ 
Michael Aflalo: K♣J♦
Buchta was ahead but needed to fade the straight draw of Aflalo. The 8♥ turn and 7♥ river never changed the outcome of the hand, and Buchta doubled up.
