There's always that moment of elation when you get your stack in preflop with the best starting hand, pocket aces. But there's also that moment of trepidation -- is this one of those times when aces get cracked? That may have been going through Eric Buchman's mind after he opened preflop for 150,000, then called all in for 1.2 million total after Jonathan Tamayo moved in from the button.
Buchman's were up against Tamayo's , a situation that Tamayo was understandably dismayed to see. The board ran out safely for aces this time, , giving Buchman the double-up to 2.4 million. Tamayo is down to 2.1 million.
