Boatman Pips Sarkis
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Barny Boatman opened to 1,800 under the gun, and Wael Sarkis defended in the big blind.
On the 10♠7♠2♣ flop, Sarkis check-called versus a bet of 2,000 from Boatman.
The 5♠ rolled off on the turn, and Sarkis adopted a more aggressive approach, check-raising to 8,000 versus a 4,000 bet from Boatman. Boatman quickly called.
The 8♠ river completed the board, bringing one-card flush possibilities, and was checked through.
Sarkis confidently tabled K♦J♠ for the jack-high flush, but Boatman had Q♣Q♠ for the queen-high flush.
