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.
