Shawn Buchanan brought a focused approach to the final table, playing his spots carefully, but his run has ended.
Buchanan folded for most of the early action but found ways to stay ahead of the blinds thanks to the few pots he was able to take down without showdown. When he finally got action with a strong hand, his luck ran out.
His final hand came when Mathyeu Provost, now the clear chip leader, opened the action by moving all in. Buchanan quickly followed suit, and the players in the blinds folded.
