Boatman Left Short by Harris
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Brandon Harris on the button got his stack of just over 200,000 into the middle, and was put at risk by Barny Boatman in the small blind.
Brandon Harris: 9♦9♠ 
Barny Boatman: A♥K♠
"Do you feel lucky?" asked Harris to Boatman.
"No. Chop it, run it twice, dealer" he replied.
Boatman's feeling of not being lucky seemed to be right as the 9♥6♣2♣ flop gave Harris a set. Only running cards to make a wheel would save Boatman, but the 8♣3♥ runout wasn't the miracle he needed.
