Action folded around to Brandon Steven on the button and he shipped all in for 74,000. Shawn Buchanan, who was next to act, called from the small blind, the big folded, and the cards were turned up.
Buchanan:

turn nor 
river helped Buchanan, and Steven, who was one of only two players to bust on Day 1 and reenter at the start of play today, received a welcome double.
