Botabayev's Boat Buries Blain's Kings

Darkhan Botabayev

Dermot Blain raised to 75,000 from the cutoff position and Darkhan Botabayev made the call in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Botabayev checked to Blain who made it 100,000 to play. Botabayev decided the price was right and tossed out calling chips.

The turn brought a repeat {Q-Hearts} and both players checked. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Botabayev deliberated before splashing 125,000 into the middle. Blain made a quick call.

Botabayev flipped a monster, {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a full house as Blain flashed {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Botabayev collects a nice pot but you have to think that Blain would be somewhat relieved to have gotten away from that situation relatively cheaply.
