Finneran Doubles Through Buchman

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Eric Buchman opened from late position before Irishman Thomas Finneran three-bet shoved for 70,000 more from the big blind. Buchman tanked for nearly a minute before finally making the call and the hands were turned over.

Buchman: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Finneran: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop was safe for Buchman's wired sixes, and Finneran even stood up from his seat half-admitting defeat. The Irishman took his seat again after the {a-Hearts} spiked on the turn though, and Buchman uttered a few choice words directed at lady luck.

The {4-Diamonds} on the river didn't change anything and Finneran doubled his stack to 150,000 chips. Buchman, despite losing the flip, is still very healthy with 500,000 chips.
