Hand #108 - Eric Buchman

Phil Ivey has the button. Steve Begleiter comes in with a raise to 1,250,000 from the small blind, and Eric Buchman appears to be thinking tricky thoughts. Indeed, after a minute or so, he re-raises to 3,950,000 from the big. Begleiter doesn't waste much time putting in the call to see a flop.

The dealer runs the first three board cards: {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Begleiter slowly checks, and Buchman isn't backing down. He makes it 3,200,000 to stay in, and Begs lets him have the pot.

Buchman - 55,175,000
Begleiter - 37,200,000
