Bujtas Takes a Small One from Wang

Stewart Morrison

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas limped in early position and when action got to David Wang in the hijack, he raised to 45,000. Action folded back to Bujtas, who made the call.

The flop came down 10♣Q♦2♦, and both players checked. The turn brought the 5♦, prompting Bujtas to take over the betting lead, doing so for 30,000, which Wang called.

The river brought the 3♥, and Bujtas continued the aggression, betting 80,000. Wang gave it some consideration but elected to fold.

Jason Koon: A♠A♦10♣8♥

The board ran out J♠J♥6♣5♠Q♦ and Koon's pocket aces were enough to eliminate Troha.

Samir Hage: A♦9♦9♥6♠

Kenney needed to fade a diamond or a nine to stay alive, and the K♥ river was safe for him to get a double up.
