Buchman Holds For BIg Pot

Level 7

Pot-Limit Omaha

When we came to Eric Buchman's table with the flop reading {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, he had raised a players bet of 1250 to 5,000 total. Action was on Abraham Mourshaki, who we just discovered is the current chip leader at around 46,000. He folded after about 45 seconds of thought, and the other opponent shoved all in for around 12,000 total. Buchman called, and saw that he would have to dodge some straight outs.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Buchman: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}

The turn came a {7-} and the rver was the {8-Diamonds} and Buchman held on to win. Mourshaki was upset after the river, saying that he had folded a jack-nine that would have given him the whole pot. Buchman is now sitting on 28,000.
