Buckley Has Rantamaki on the Ropes
Nível 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Joni Rantamaki limped from the small blind and Mark Buckley raised to 600,000 out of the big blind. Rantamaki called to see a flop.
Buckley checked the 6♠6♦3♦ flop and Rantamaki bet 900,000. Buckley check-raised all in for 5,950,000 and Rantamaki called.
Mark Buckley: A♣K♣ 
Joni Rantamaki: 7♦5♦
Much to Buckley's surprise, he was ahead with Big Slick, but he had to fade almost half the deck to take a commanding chip lead heads-up. Rantamaki on the other hand could win the tournament if he could hit any of his many outs.
The rest of the board ran out Q♥3♥ and Buckley's ace-king high had catapulted him into a commanding chip lead.
