Bueno Shows Surkamp the Goods
Dwayne Sluis limped in from middle position before Patrick Bueno raised to 45,000 in the hijack. Florian Surkamp called in the big blind, while Sluis also came along to see the Q♠5♠3♠ flop.
All three players checked and the turn was the 4♠. Bueno then bet 40,000 and only Surkamp called.
The river was the 8♣ and Bueno bet 120,000. Surkamp asked the dealer to spread the pot as he pondered the decision for a few minutes, eventually releasing his hand. Bueno showed A♠K♠K♥ as he took the pot.
"You were afraid of the straight flush, huh," tablemate Dario Alioto said to him after the hand.
At another table, Gediminas Grigas finally got the good hand he was looking for, picking up A♦A♥Q♥5♦ as he was all in for 121,000 against Marek Rous. The board ran out Q♦5♥6♠4♣10♠ to give Grigas two pair as Rous tossed two kings into the muck.
"Chip and a chair," a tablemate said to Grigas who doubled up after being knocked down to just 30,000 right before dinner.
