Picking on the Little Guy

Saturday, 02 August 2008

The high stakes PLO session going on now is a six handed $200/$400 game on Full Tilt Poker. The usual suspects, SteveSung, Gus Hansen and Ziigmund are at battle among two short stack players taking a shot at the big game and one relatively unknown legit online player.

buck99, known to his mother as Shawn Buchanan, though not a regular at the big game is no stranger to high stakes poker. He bought a seat in the $25,000 Full Tilt Heads-up championships, sits periodically at the nosebleed stakes and has done incredibly well in some major live tournaments, including winning a WPT Mandalay Bay Championships, and most recently finishing 4th on a WSOP NLHE Event.

In this session Buchanan was keeping under the radar, fortunately the other players were not. This hand involves four of the six other players on the table. This battle is between two regular high-stakes players and two players taking a shot, here's how it unfolded:

In total Gus Hansen takes down a pot worth over $162,000, while three other players yell profanities loud enough to wake up their neighbors. With every player on the table being either an action junkie or someone looking to scoop a huge pot, the action on this table should stay pretty consistent. With players reloading and more money coming into play, the pots will keep getting larger at the same time.
