Could Have Been Over

Leo Boxell raised to 150,000 from the button and Phillip Willcocks called.

The flop brought about the {k-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and a couple of checks to go with it. The turn card was the {10-Clubs} and this time Willcocks led for 225,000. Boxell then popped it to 600,000 and Willcocks made the call.

The {j-Diamonds} on the river made it four cards to a straight showing on the board and slowed things down as both players checked and turned their hands over. Boxell held {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped set, while Willcocks showed an {a-}.

"If a little card came on the river, this tournament was all over!", exclaimed Boxell.

"If you bet on the flop it could have been all over," replied Willcocks, as Boxell takes the pot and improves his chip lead.
