Marco Traniello Eliminated by Shawn "Bounty Hunter" Buchanan ($5,000)

Shawn Buchanan is not a Shooting Star, but he is racking up their bounties — he is the first player to turn a profit in this tournament. 

After a flop of A-10-9 with two spades, Marco Traniello is all in with [Ks8s] (flush draw) against Buchanan’s A-9 (two pair). Traniello fails to improve, and Buchanan wins the pot with his two pair. 

Shooting Star Marco Traniello is eliminated, and Shawn Buchanan collects his third autographed t-shirt and another $5,000 bounty. Earlier today, Buchanan busted both David Singer and Jamie Gold.
