Alas, the last hopes for the 2009 November Nine to shine in the 2010 WSOP Main Event were dashed on Day 5 (Wednesday, the 14th), when the final remaining November Niner, Eric Buchman busted out in 549th place.
Buchman had started the day in 351st place, short stacked with 250,000 in chips. Prop bets aside, Buchman earned $24,709 for his 2010 WSOP Main Event efforts…plus a boat load of respect from fellow November Niners and poker pros alike. He beat out 6770 other runners!
Congratulations Eric!
