Shawn Buchanan Eliminated in 2nd Place ($376,458)

Level 29
Shawn Buchanan - 2nd Place
Shawn Buchanan - 2nd Place

Omaha-8

Fabrice Soulier had the button and raised. Shawn Buchanan called, and the flop came down {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Buchanan led, Soulier raised, Buchanan put in three bets, Soulier made it four bets, and Buchanan called all in.

Buchanan: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Soulier: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Buchanan was ahead at the moment, but Soulier was drawing to both a better high and a low. The {a-Diamonds} on the turn added to Soulier's outs, and the {6-Spades} on the river gave him eights and sixes. Soulier made the best hand, winning him the bracelet and a cool $376,458.

For Buchanan, it's another runner-up finish at the World Series of Poker. He finished second in the $25,000 Six Handed event last year, and now has another second place - this time in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Despite failing to win the bracelet, Buchanan earned $376,458 for his efforts, which isn't a bad chunk of change.
