Russell “Bud” Waggoner

It was another long bubble with a lot of money on the line at the end. It took 15 hands, enough for another full level, to burst the bubble.

On that hand, Russell “Bud” Waggoner open-shoved for his last 14,000 from under the gun and Raminder Singh had him at risk from the button.

Singh: AhKh
Waggoner: 9c7s

Singh was ahead but Waggoner had two live cards for a comeback. That all changed when Singh paired his king on the KdJs5d flop. The Kc turn improved him the trip kings and the 5h river finished the board. Waggoner was sent out on the bubble and denied his third cash of the series.
