Michael Gathy calls all in UTG+1 for 1,000, and Adrian Buckley raises from middle position to 11,000. The player in the big blind calls.

There is 9,000 in the main pot that Gathy qualifies for, and 20,000 in the side pot.

The flop comes Spade KSpade 5Club 2, the big blind checks, Buckley bets 8,000, and the big blind calls.

The turn card is the Diamond 4, the big blind checks, Buckley bets 15,000, and the big blind folds. Buckley takes the side pot worth 36,000.

For the main pot, Gathy turns over Heart QSpade 7 for queen high, but he’s drawing dead against Buckley’s Diamond KSpade Q (pair of kings).

The meaningless river card pairs the board with the Heart K, and Buckley wins the pot with trip kings to eliminate Gathy from the tournament.

Adrian Buckley  –  204,000  (41 bb)
Michael Gathy  –  Eliminated
