Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Steven Buckner
Steven Buckner

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".

Elsewhere, Todd Hatch has been racking up some chips with 130,000 and at the same table Ricky Barraza is also sitting with a healthy stack of 72,000.
