"Cuz" Gets His One-Time
WPT favorite Steven "Cuz" Buckner was in regular form in a light blue Puma tracksuit and with a cigar in his mouth. Around 5:30 p.m. local time, Bucker could be heard screaming for his "one time" as he was all in in a limped pot on a flop of Kx9xXxwith KxQxtop be pipped by the AxKxof a player to his left.
The 9xturn changed nothing and Buckner again screamed "one time!" before a queen landed on the river to give him the winning hand. He celebrated, then calmed down thinking he may have lost, and then celebrated again as he realized he indeed had the best hand.
"I gotta get lucky one time. I'm getting b****-slapped over here. I didn't put you on ace-king. You disguised your hand, and I just got lucky. I'd rather be lucky than good."
Also in the field was Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel. Around this time last year, Seidel was 180 miles away in the Bahamas winning his tenth bracelet to tie fellow poker legends Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Phil Ivey (who went on to win an 11th bracelet this summer).
Opposite the ballroom, an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier stretched its arms on the table as its owner informed his opponents that the small brown dog was named "Re-Buy."
"Because it's my second dog," he said before folding his button.
