Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Greg Merson and Steve Gee aren't the only players making a run in the Main Event for the second straight year. Bob Buckenyamer took 17th in the 2012 Main Event, and he's still alive and above average here on Day 5. We recently found Buckenmayer raising preflop from early position and then four-betting after Jose Pinedamoncada three-bet from the small blind. Pinedamoncada called, creating a pot worth 470,000 before the flop. Both players checked the 
, and Pinedamoncada checked again on the 
turn. Buckenmayer moved all in for 532,000, which prompted a fold from his opponent. The retired businessman is now sitting on just over a million.
