Shawn Buchanan has made quite a career out of flying under the radar. He may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of the best Canadian pros out there, but Buchanan is actually the seventh most successful Canadian tournament player in history with over $3.75 million in lifetime tournament earnings. His career achievements are far-reaching and, if the high praise from his peers is any indication, Buchanan is not a player you want to be tangling in pots against.

The Vancouver native has been posting cashes on the tournament circuit since 2004. After three years of consistent cashes, but no major final tables, Buchanan had his big breakthrough at Season VI’s Mandalay Bay Poker Championship. Dominating the field from Day 1 on through to the final table, Buchanan picked up his first WPT title along with $768,775.

Since then, Buchanan has made it to two other WPT final tables, finishing fourth at Season VIII’s Five Diamond World Poker Classic and following that up with a third place showing at that season’s WPT World Championship at Bellagio. Buchanan’s success extends beyond the WPT as well. He has four career WSOP final tables, including two runner-up finishes, as well as numerous online scores. Playing under the screenname “buck21,” Buchanan has a WCOOP win, SCOOP final tables, and over $1 million in online earnings to his credit.
