Boatman Not a Believer in Bertilsson

Barny Boatman and Anton Bertilsson played out a dramatic early hand here on Day 1e of the £6 million guaranteed partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event.

We joined the action on the final street as a completed board had played out and with a pot of 920,000 in the middle.

Bertilsson bet 215,000 and Boatman was the one with a decision. Only sat behind 900,000 and more than 1.1 million in the middle, Boatman elected to call and was shown by Bertilsson, a flopped straight good enough to win a big pot. Boatman was full of praise for his opponent.

"You bet exactly the right amount on each street. Well played." said Boatman.

The young Swede Bertilsson thanked his more decorated opponent. Boatman of course, has a WSOP bracelet to his name, along with over $3.5 million of live tournament cashes. Bertilsson is no slouch, however, and already has $1.2m in live results in the bank. He also has the chip advantage over Boatman at their table here on Day 1e.
