Eight-Game's back.
Buchman Bolstered
Level 13
Hold'em
It was the last hand of the limit hold'em round when Jerrod Ankenman opened with a raise from the cutoff seat. On the button, Eric Buchman three-bet, and Ankenman called to see a flop.
It came 
, and Ankenman check-raised. When he did, Buchman raised it right back up to three bets, and Ankenman flatted. On the turn

Buchman showed up 
, and it was good. Ankenman spent a long while staring down at his cards, but they wouldn't change. No good, he mucked, slipping to 16,000 while Buchman climbs to about 66,000.
