Von Buxhoeveden Is Not Easy To Shift

Luke Fields has just found out that Erik Von Buxhoeveden is not a player who lays his hands down easily – it was an expensive lesson!

When we arrive at the table Fields looks like the Daddy! He has his white headphones on, he is rocking his head back and fore and he has more chips than anyone else at the table. By the end of the hand the lad from the UK was looking a little sheepish.

Von Buxhoeveden raises to 2,100 in middle position and Fields three-bets on the button to the tune of 5,600. When the action folds around to Von Buxhoeveden he makes the call. The two of them share a flop containing more hearts than a card shop on Valentines Day – [Ah] [10h] [9h]. Von Buxhoeveden checks and Fields bets 13,500 from his superior position. The turn is the [8d] and once again Von Buxhoeveden checks and once again Fields bets – this time 22,200 – and Von Buxhoeveden calls. The final card, in this huge pot, is the [Js] and Von Buxhoeveden checks again. Fields counts out a bet of 33,900 and moves it across the line and Von Buxhoeveden instantly calls.

"You’ve got it," said Fields.

"Show or muck," says Von Buxhoeveden.

Fields turns over [3h] [3d] and Von Buxhoeveden turns over [Ad] [2d] and receives a poker round of applause (a few taps on the felt!)

Von Buxhoeveden – 230,000
Fields – 125,000
