A bucket assembly for a turbine system is disclosed. The bucket assembly includes a main body having an exterior surface and defining a main cooling circuit, and a platform surrounding the main body and at least partially defining a platform cooling circuit. The platform includes a forward portion and an aft portion each extending between a pressure side slash face and a suction side slash face. The platform further includes a forward face, an aft face, and a top face. The bucket assembly further includes a passage defined in the platform generally between the platform cooling circuit and the pressure side slash face and in fluid communication with one of the main cooling circuit or the platform cooling circuit.
