Buckley Doubles via Philippou
Nível 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Patrick Kennedy opened to 70,000 under the gun and was called by Christopher Philippou in middle position, and Mark Buckley in the big blind.
On the A♠7♠2♦ flop, Buckley checked, Kennedy fired out a bet of 80,000, only for Philippou to pot it. Buckley moved all in for 271,000 and Kennedy folded.
Mark Buckley: 7♦7♥8♣6♣ 
Christopher Philippou: 10♠5♠10♦3♦
Buckley was ahead with a set of sevens against Philippou's spade draw and pair of tens, and the 9♣ turn and J♣ river were bricks, sending the Irishman a timely double-up at the start of the final table.
