Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken
After a middle-position player raised to 300, Noah Boeken and the player in the cutoff called the raise. The player on the button then made it 1,500 to go, enough to make the original raiser throw his cards away. Boeken had other plans--he reraised to 4,000 and after the cutoff mucked, the player who'd made the big raise also capitulated. Boeken picked up a nice pot without ever seeing the flop.
