We picked up with the action on fourth street to find Shawn Buchanan sparring with 2009 champion of this very event, David Bach. Bach checked over to Buchanan who fired out a bet. Bach came over the top with a raise and Buchanan called to see fifth street. Buchanan picked up three spades showing on fifth and led out once more after a check from Bach.
Sixth street gave Bach a pair of tens but he checked over to the aggressor. Buchanan fired out a bet once again and Bach called. The players were dealt their final card and Bach tapped the table for one final time. Buchanan fired out a bet and Bach called.
Buchanan fanned 
for aces full of eights which prompted a chuckle from Bach. Before mucking his cards Bach flashed the 
to show that he held at least a set of tens. Buchanan dragged in the pot and saw a small victory early here in this prestigious event.
