Hohner Draws First Blood
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
After the redraw, the first few hands did not bring a flop. When it did, the intensity increased quickly.
Shawn Buchanan, from middle position, took the lead against big blind Ryan Hohner, by raising preflop, then adding 700,000 to the pot after J♠9♠5♦ hit the board. Hohner made the call.
Both players checked the turn of 10♠ and the river 6♣. Hohner showed K♥Q♥ to take down the hand with a straight, and move ahead of Buchanan in chips.
