Shawn Buchanan, a Canadian poker player who won the World Poker Tour Mandalay Bay Poker Championship in 2007, grabbed a pot at the WPT Main Event Day 1B.
Preflop, Nabil Karrass raised to 900. Shawn, Heath Day, Richard Kirsch and Romans Voitovs all called. When the flop came down 
, Nabil bet 1,200. Shawn and Romans both called, and Heath and Richard folded.
When the dealer revealed the turn 
, Nabil wagered 2,000. Shawn called and Romans folded. The dealer flipped the river 
. Nabil pushed harder, betting 3,000. Shawn paused. The fingers of his left hand moved musically along his right bicep like the digits of a trumpet players hitting notes with a horn. After a few minutes of reflection, Shawn, whose career poker winnings exceed some 4 million dollars, called.
Nabil, who was holding ace queen, shook his head when Shawn threw down a pair of nines.
