Back-to-Back for Buchanan

We caught up with the action three-handed on a {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} board between the big blind, Eli Elezra and Shawn Buchanan. The big blind checked, Elezra bet and Buchanan went into the tank. After quite some time, he made the call as did the big blind. Elezra showed {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} for top-top on the river but Buchanan turned over {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} for a straight. The big blind mucked and Buchanan won the pot.

As he was still piling the chips from his win however, Buchanan got into another hand. On a {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} flop, Darren Woods bet after Elezra and Buchanan had checked to him. Both players made the call and everyone checked the {7-Hearts} on the turn. On the {5-Clubs} river, Elezra bet and Buchanan called. Woods folded and Elezra announced “seven” which was no good as Buchanan turned over {J-Hearts} {10-Spades} for a higher pair.
