It's the Eric Buchman Show

Level 23
Eric Buchman
Eric Buchman

Eric Buchman opened with a raise for the second hand in a row. Everyone folded the first time, but this time, both Michele Limongi (button) and John Monnette (small blind) came along with him to the flop.

The three men took a {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {5-Clubs} flop, and Monnette checked it. Buchman bet, and Limongi spent about three minutes fiddling with chips and his glasses before he folded. Monnette snuck in check-raise, though, and Buchman called the extra bet.

The turn came the {6-Spades}, and Monnette bet again. Buchman was the one doing the raising this time, and Monnette quickly called the extra bet. On the {Q-Hearts} turn, Monnette check-called one last bet.

Buchman tabled {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Spades}, and that was the nuts. Monnette flashed the {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} as he mucked, and the pot goes to Buchman. The pro from Valley Stream, New York is really pressing here, up now to about 1.4 million.
