Another player who left empty-handed with just one point was Bubble Boy Adrian « ParTee ». Buckley who went broke in a nerve-wracking way. In level 21 (6. 000/12. 000/1. 200) increased « Samthedog76 » under the weapon to 32. 000 and when Buckley, a WSOP bracelet winner, called 154. 716 pulled all-in from the hijack.

It was a flip with Buckley trying to hold on so as not to become the bubble boy. While he was able to dodge all the kings and aces, the board ran out to put quads on the board. That meant Buckley’s flop full house wasn’t good and that the ace of « Samthedog76 » made all the difference.
