The Boat Toots

Sucking in the air and chowing down on food!
Sucking in the air and chowing down on food!
With play underway, Phil Ivey and [Removed:197] decided to pause their first hand as Barny Boatman was nowhere to be found.

Three minutes ticked past and finally we saw Boatman scurrying through the crowds and railbirds with a plate of food in his hand.

One he took his seat, panting and gasping for air Ivey threw out a bet of 13,000 to which [Removed:198] folded.

"Wait a sec . . . I'm supposed to be on the button" stated Boatman as he kept grasping for much-needed oxygen.

The supervisor was called over, and deemed that substantial action had occurred and therefore the raise stood and he was forced to play out of the big blind.

"Yeah, but, I would have had that hand" mutters Boatman as he points to Ivey's capped cards.

Ivey stared up at Boatman with his usual puzzled glare before announcing, "but if we played you would have lost twenty thousand instead of just five" due to the fact they waited till he had returned.

Still sucking in the oxygen and panting hard, Boatman relinquished his hand before finally coming to the realization that he would have in fact lost more if the cards were in the air on the right time.
