2010 WSOP: Eric Buchman Wins Event #18 $2,000 buy-in Limit Hold'em

Eric Buchman won his first WSOP bracelet and $203,607 for topping a field of 476 players in Event #18 of the 2010 World Series of Poker, a $2,000 buy-in Limit Hold'em tournament. Eric Buchman was best known for finishing fourth in last year's World Series of Poker Main Event championship, and although that win netted a bigger cash prize of $2.5 Million, it's his first place finish in this recent Limit Hold'em event that brings him his first WSOP bracelet.

The other results of the final table are as follows:

2nd: Brent Courson (USA) - $125,737
3rd: Steven Hustoft (USA) -$90,928
4th: Flavio Ferrari (Italy) -$66,446
5th: Hanson Chu (USA) -$49,068
6th: William Jensen (USA) -$36,619
7th: Matt Grapenthein (USA) -$27,609
8th: Gary Bogdanski (USA) -$21,028
9th: Matt Matros (USA)- $16,174

Incidentally, Matt Matros made his second final table appearance in this 2010 WSOP. Four days earlier, he won his first WSOP bracelet in another Limit Hold'em competition (Event #12).
