Shaun Deeb Out; Buchman on the Rise

Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Eric Buchman is looking to match or improve on his fourth-place showing at the 2009 WSOP Main Event. He's made big moves this level, including knocking out Shaun Deeb along the way.

First Buchman scored a big double-up in a hand versus Richard Pyne. Then he eliminated a short-stacked Deeb after the latter shoved with {A-}{5-} and Buchman called with {K-}{J-}, and a king on the river ended Deeb's run while adding more to Buchman's stack.
