Buchanan Takes a Tumble
Level 31
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
From the button, Austin Buchanan opened to 160,000, and John Riordan gave him a call from the big blind.
The flop came , and the action went check-check. The turn drew another check from Buchanan, and Riordan made it 300,000 to go. Buchanan called, and Riordan fired another healthy bet of 900,000 following the river. It was a big decision for Buchanan, and he eventually made the wrong one. He called with two mystery cards which would quickly hit the muck when Riordan tabled .
With that pot, Riordan moves back over 6 million while Buchanan falls all the way back under the million-chip mark with 795,000 left behind.
