Giang Busts Buchanan

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

When we came to the table, the board read {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and Giang had put out a bet of 6,000. Shawn Buchanan was pondering what to do with his last 9,000 chips, and he decided to put them at risk here. Giang made the call, and the players flipped their cards up.

Giang: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Buchanan: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Despite having his flopped two pair counterfeited by the queen on the turn, Giang was still in the lead, needing to dodge an ace or a king on the river. The river came the {10-Spades}, and Giang won the hand, upping him to 170,000, while Buchanan was eliminated.
