Boatman Eliminated in Two Blind-On-Blind Encounters

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Ross Boatman
Ross Boatman

The action folded to old-school legend Ross Boatman in the small blind, who made it 40,000 to go. Big blind Stefan Bratanov obliged and the pair saw the flop of {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} appear.

Boatman continuation-bet for 40,000 after inquiring about his opponent's stack and Bratanov called once more.

Boatman slowed down on the {5-Hearts} turn with a check, after which Bratanov put Boatman all-in with a bet of 150,000. Boatman quickly folded and was left with nine big blinds, while Bratanov, who also started the hand short, got a much-needed double-up.

An orbit later Boatman got his stack in preflop the same blind-versus-blind situation.

Ross Boatman: {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Stefan Bratanov: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Bratanov hit a pair on the {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board and Boarman's king-high spelled the end of his tournament.
