In two short hands, Eric Buchman busted out of the tournament.
Hand No. 1
Evdakov: 
/ 
Buchman: (X) (X) / 
Buchman had to bring it in on third street, then opted to raise after Nikolay Evdakov completed. Evdakov called to fourth street, where he bet after Buchman checked. Buchman called to fifth street, where he made open nines. He bet those nines, but Evdakov raised with open treys. Buchman called to sixth street. He made a second open pair but seemed to sense that his hand wasn't good enough. He checked, then made a frustrated fold to Evdakov's bet. Evdakov showed buried aces.
Hand No. 2
Buchman: / 
/ 
Schmelev: 
/ 
/ 
Down to about 35,000, Buchman completed on third street and was called only by chip leader Vladimir Schmelev. Buchman continued on fourth street and was called again. That left Buchman with 7,000 behind. Schmelev made open eights on fifth street and bet. A frustrated Buchman thought for about twenty seconds before dejectedly tossing his last chips into the pot. He had buried fours and never improved.
Buchman is gone in 12th place.
