Bucky Notches the Eleventh-Hour Double
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Breaking news: Faraz Jaka lost a pot.
We walked up to the flop to see him heads up with Shawn Buchanan, and Bucky had 18,000 chips out in front of him. Jaka made it 36,000, Buchanan shoved for 60,100 total, and the cards were tabled.
Buchanan's was ahed of Jaka's , but the turn gave the chip leader a wheel draw with one to come. The river was the safe , though, and Buchanan is stacking up enough chips to bring back tomorrow — about 140,000 of them.
