Buchanan Goes For Broke
Level 29
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
In early position, Austin Buchanan mini-raised to 100,000, and Gerald Timmons made the call next door. In the big blind, Jon Brody squeezed in a reraise to 400,000, and Buchanan moved all in for about 900,000 total. That was enough to get Timmons out of the way, but Brody made the call with a similar-size stack, and the cards were turned up:
Buchanan:
Brody:
Buchanan was in bad shape, and the flop was no good at all.
The turn , however, was quite good as far as Buchanan was concerned. Nobody really reacted to the two-outer, but it pulled Buchanan into a big lead with one to come. The river left Brody shaking his head as counted out his debt. After paying off Buchanan's double, he is left with just about 180,000 chips.
