Buchman Battles Back
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With Ernest Essad applying the pressure, the game was getting tight for Eric Buchman. He was down to less than 200,000 chips and to call Essad's latest bet and lost the hand he would be out of the tournament.
He folded.
The very next hand, he got it all in against James Cheung.
Eric Buchman: J♠J♦10♦6♠
James Cheung: A♥7♣6♥5♠
Buchman hit a set of jacks on the flop and after the full board runout 4♠A♣J♥2♥7♦, that was still the best hand. And Buchman had new life.
