Buchanan vs. Lamb: Benjamin Lamb Advances

Before the flop, Benjamin Lamb raised to 8,500, and Shawn Buchanan made the call from the big blind.

The flop came out {9-?} {2-?} {3-Clubs}. Lamb continued out with a bet of 9,000, and Buchanan moved all in for 62,000 total. Lamb quickly called, turning over {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Buchanan sheepishly turned over {8-?} {9-?}, his top pair still trailing his opponent's overpair. The turn and river would blank off with a {K-?} and a {5-?}, and Shawn Buchanan has been eliminated.

Two More in the Books

Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf does sometimes win, apparently. He has just polished off Michael Baxter to earn his seat in the next round.

Also just finishing up was the match between Masaaki Kagawa and Jimmy D'Ambrosio. Jimmy D. put Kagawa on the ropes early on, and he has just finished the job, knocking off Kagawa and moving on. The final hand saw D'Ambrosio flop two pair with {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} to crack Kagawa's pocket aces and send him pacing toward the exit.
