Boatman Hits the Nuts on the River
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alexander Tkatschew had jammed the first hand of the new feature table to steal the blinds. He then raised to 50,000 with the 7♥7♣ and Barny Boatman called with the A♠J♣ in the big blind.
That led them to the K♠6♠3♦ flop on which Boatman checked, Tkatschew bet 40,000 and Boatman called. The Q♥ turn kept Tkatschew ahead but Boatman now had a gutshot, which he opted to check for Tkatschew to check back.
Boatman made broadway with the 10♥ river and he bet 125,000, but received no call.
