Event 14 (Day 2): 5th Place - Bucci ($8,012)

Level 19 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/500)
Players Remaining: 4
Chip Average: 630,000

James Bucci (Hollywood, MD)
After an open UTG from James Bucci, Drake Bronk would make the call and the two would see a flop of J♣ 5♣ 5.  Bucci would throw out a bet of 25,000 and Bronk would immediately put out a stack big enough to put James all-in.  Bucci would make the call and the hands would be tabled:

Bucci: A♠ A♣
Bronk: K♠ J♠

Turn: J

River: 8♣

Bucci would say to Bronk when they chips got in, "King is going to be no good, you need a jack."  And without waiting the dealer would put a jack on the turn, eliminating the Maryland poker legend.
