Big Slick Doesn't Do the Trick for Buddiga

Max Altergott raised to 50,000 under the gun only to have Fedor Holz three-bet to 129,000 from the cutoff. Pratyush Buddiga then four-bet jammed for 480,000 from the small blind, and Altergott moved all in over the top.

"Makes it easy," Holz said before folding.

Buddiga:

It was another race situation, but Buddiga needed to improve to stay alive. The flop didn't do much for him other than give him a running flush possibility, which was snatched away when the appeared on the turn. Buddiga needed either an ace or king on the river to extend his tournament life, but it was not meant to be as the blanked.
