Clash of the Big Stacks

A relentless Shawn Buchanan
A relentless Shawn Buchanan
Our two big stacks, Shawn Buchanan and Andrew Wang have just clashed with the result being that they have effectively swapped positions.

Buchanan continued with his relentless aggression and raised from under the gun holding {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Action folded to Wang on the button, who raised it up with Buchanan making the call.

They saw a flop of {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Buchanan check-raised the bet from Wang, who made the call. The same situation unfolded on the {7-Spades}, with Buchanan putting in yet another check-raise. Wang wasn't going anywhere and he made the call.

The river was the {9-Spades} and the carnage stopped with both players checking it down. Wang tabled {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the best hand to take down the monster pot. He assumes the tournament chip lead with 250,000 as Buchanan slips to 190,000.
