Barny Boatman

After being one of the first here this afternoon at the start of play, Barny Boatman has had more than enough time to get into spots. We saw the experienced British pro bet 3,000 on a board of {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and his opponent called. The river was the {5-Clubs} and he bet 7,500. His opponent appeared as if he was looking at someone, but was instead just staring into space, and eventually called. Boatman quickly flipped over {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a full house.

In the very next hand Lionel Grobocopatel opened from early position to 450 and Boatman called on the button, as well as the blinds. The flop came {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}. It checked to Boatman who bet 600. The blinds both folded and Grobocopatel raised to 1,550. Boatman called.

The turn was the {a-Clubs}. Grobocopatel bet 3,000 and Boatman raised to 6,000. After some thought his opponent re-raised to 14,000. "Nice hand," said Boatman, before folding.
