Buchanan Plays It Safe

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

With the board reading {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Alex Timman bet 1,550 and was raised to 4,900 by Shawn Buchanan. A third player in the hand got out of the way and Timman called.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and both players opted to check, delivering the {10-Hearts} on the river. Timman swiftly bet 6,000 and Buchanan called immediately. Timman showed {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for trips, but Buchanan tabled {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a full house to win the pot.

Buchanan: 57,000
Timman: 32,000
