"The longest journey begins with a single step," said Doyle Brunson as he collected a pot from Eric Buchman. Brunson bet fourth street after Buchman checked to him, bet fifth street and was all in on sixth street. Buchman came every step of the way.
"Do you have two pair?" Buchman asked when the players turned their cards up on sixth street. Brunson did not; he had only a pair of threes. At the river Brunson, however, Brunson made two pair, queens and threes, to beat Buchman's rivered pair of tens.
The pot doubled Brunson up to 42,000. The loss was only a small dent in Buchman's chip fortress. He's down to 220,000.
