Boika Cracks Aces but Remains Kind
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aliaksei Boika got his stack of 53,000 chips in from the small blind against Nicolas Lecoeuvre in the hijack.
Aliaksei Boika: K♠Q♠
Nicolas Lecoeuvre: A♠A♦
Boika flopped one pair on K♣3♥8♥ and turned two of them on the Q♦. The 7♣ river did not counterfeit him and he doubled up.
After the fact, Boika felt like he received too many chips and requested a recount of his stack. It turned out that he indeed received 6,000 too much, and it was swiftly returned to Lecoeuvre.
