Mark Buckley Stays Alive With a Straight On the River
Apr 19, '14
Mikhail Petrov opened to 7,100 from under then gun, Mark Buckley called from under the gun +1, Oleskandr Babak called from the button and Jonathan Lundy called from the small blind.
The four saw a flop of 1084 and action checked around to Babak. Babak bet 9,000 and Lundy and Petrov released their hands. Buckley announced he was all-in for 68,500 and Babak snap-called.
Buckley showed K9 to Babak’s 88. Behind Babak’s set of eights, Buckley got up and started to gather his things. The dealer continued the board and turned over J7 but Buckley did not notice. As he continued to gather his things his tablemates informed him of the river.
“You got a straight, man,” one said. An astonished Buckley took a look at the board, confirmed his tablemate was correct, shrugged his shoulders and sat back down. Meanwhile, Babak was left with about 13,000.
