Austin Buchanan Eliminated in 4th Place ($70,939)

Level 31 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Austin Buchanan - 4th place
Austin Buchanan - 4th place

Once again, John Riordan opened the pot to 160,000, this time from the button. Austin Buchanan was in the big blind, and he moved all in for about 880,000. Riordan called, and the news was not good for the at-risk player:

Riordan: {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Buchanan: {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} flop put some chop outs into play, and Buchanan's friends on the rail began shouting for a ten. It never came. In fact, the {9-Spades} turn left Buchanan drawing dead, and the {8-Spades} river was a mere formality.

He gave it a good run, but Austin Buchanan been cut down in fourth place. That's good for more than $70,000 as a consolation prize, and Buchanan's name is one you'll likely see again soon at a major final table.
