Buchman Opens-Ships Three Million

Eric Buchman decided not to make one of his more normal raises, but instead open-shoved slightly over three million into the middle. Jonathan Tamayo asked for a count and when he found out, made the call.

Tamayo tabled {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} and then the dealer turned over Buchman's hand -- {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. The crowd sprung to their feet to watch the action as Tamayo's rail cheered.

The flop was gin for Buchman when it came {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. Buchman is rarely emotional, but again slapped his hands together and yelled, "Yes!"

The turn was the {6-Spades} which officially ended things. The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs} and Tamayo sent the chips over.
