Buchanan Busts Boyd

After a long, arduous heads-up battle in which the lead went back and forth, Shawn Buchanan had Craig Boyd all in before the flop holding {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades} against Boyd's {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Boyd was still ahead, and had a flush draw as well. But the turn was the {8-Hearts}, giving Buchanan eights. Boyd now needed an ace or club to survive. The river was the {7-Hearts}, and Boyd was eliminated. Buchanan becomes the 63rd of the 64 players to make tomorrow's Round 2.
