Buchanan Flushes Kihara
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Naoya Kihara opened the action with raise to 600 and it folded around to Shawn Buchanan who called from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, leaving the two heads up to the flop.
The dealer fanned 
and Kihara continued out with a bet of 800. Buchanan stayed the course and the 
hit the turn to complete both the straight and flush possibilities. Kihara bet 1,700 and Buchanan thought for about 30 seconds before dropping out another call. The 
on the river put four diamonds on the board and Kihara slowed with a check. Buchanan checked it back, prompting Kihara to roll over 
for flopped trips. The Canadian had that beat, however, as he showed 
for a flush.
Buchanan raked in the pot and now has about 36,000.
