High Tide for Bui

A player in late position opened with a raise to 2,000, and Dean Bui made the call from the big blind.

The flop brought out {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Bui plunked a big stack of covering chips into the pot, and his opponent called all in, tabling {K-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Bui's {5-Spades} {6-Spades} had flopped two pair, positioning him for the knockout. The turn {10-Spades} added a big sweat as it gave the at-risk player an open ender. The river was a blank though, the {Q-Clubs}, and Bui's three pair took it down. He's now on 30,000.
