Brutal Turn Leaves Buckner Reeling
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
David Berman raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by Steven Buckner from early position, the player in the cutoff, and both players in the blinds.
The flop came 3?A?8? and action checked to Berman, who continued for 1,200. Buckner and the small blind called.
Action checked to Buckner on the 6? turn and he fired 9,000 into the middle. Only Berman called.
Berman checked to Buckner once more when the 2? completed the board and he bombed 21,000 into the middle. Berman quickly called and Buckner tabled 8?6? for two pair. It was no good, however, against the 8?8? of Berman for a set of eights.
"What a brutal turn," Buckner fumed as Berman collected the pot.
