Chakdor Coolered by "boredboarder"

Limit Hold'em

With blinds of 875/1,750 and bets of 1,750/3,500, Tenzin "Mc_lovin1632" Chakdor raised to 3,500 from under the gun and "boredboarder" re-raised to 5,250 from the big blind.

Chakdor made a 7,000 capped bet and "boredboarder" called to see a {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. More bets saw it's 7,000 limit met bringing about the {3-Clubs} on the turn.

"boredboarder" led out, then called Chakdor's raise and the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

The action met the same 7,000 capped limit and Chakdor rolled over {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} but they were no good as "boredboarder" showed {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} to win the pot.
