Buchanan Can't Make The Call

We got to the table to see Shawn Buchanan heads up with another player on a board that read {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}. There was about 20,000 in the middle, and Buchanan checked to his opponent, who fired out 14,000. Buchanan made the call, and the river was the {a-Hearts}. Buchanan thought for about a minute before checking, and his opponent thought for about 30 seconds before betting 32,000. Buchanan went deep into the tank, finally electing to fold after about 3 minutes of thinking.

Despite losing that pot, it's been a good day for Buchanan, as he has doubled the stack of 83,000 that he came into today with.
