Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Life's good for Eric Buchman right now. He hasn't had to make many tough decision today. After opening a pot for 425,000 and being called by James Akenhead, Buchman's hand practically played itself.

Buchman bet 525,000 on the flop, 725,000 on the turn, and 1.2 million on the river. Akenhead called each time as the board developed {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

. Buchman showed down nothing but the second nuts -- {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

, a king-high straight. Akenhead couldn't beat that hand and mucked.
