With two WSOP final tables, one WSOPC final table, two WSOP final table near-misses, and close to $1 million in total tournament cashes, Eric Buchman is a legitimate November Nine threat.

From the State of New York, this 29-year-old poker player has 22 cashes under his belt, with his 23rd being the universal poker player's dream: Making the WSOP Main Event final table.

Buchman's largest cash to date came from finishing second in the 2007 WSOPC Atlantic City Main event for over $208k. His best result at the WSOP was a second-place finish in 2006 for over $175,000.

Buchman enters the final table second in chips with 34,800,000.
