Buchanan Beating Up on Somerville

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On the flop of {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Shawn Buchanan fired 4,100. He was called by Jason Somerville. The turn paired the board with the {2-Spades} and Buchanan stayed aggressive. He fired 6,000 and Somerville called.

The river card completed the board with the {6-Diamonds} and Buchanan bet once more. It was worth 14,100 and Somerville took a moment before tossing in the call. Buchanan then turned over the {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for trip deuces and Somerville mucked.

A couple hands later, these two were involved in another pot on the board of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}. They were joined by Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier. Somerville and Mercier checked to Buchanan and he fired 12,000. Somerville called and Mercier folded after taking a minute.

The river card completed the board with the {4-Spades}. Somerville passed the action to Buchanan and he fired 25,000. A couple of minutes passed with Somerville tanking before he eventually slid his hand into the muck. Buchanan won another pot from Somerville and increased his stack to a little over 300,000. Somerville slipped back to 200,000.
