Boatman Stays Afloat

Ross Boatman got his whole stack in preflop against former chip leader Kevin Boudreau, and when his stack came out again it was twice as big as before.

Boudreau: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Boatman: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Board: {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Presumably the bit of his hand that Boatman liked was the two kings, which as it happened were trailing behind Boudreau's aces preflop. But in the end it was the other two cards in his hand that played, and his two pair by the end of the board was good to secure a double up to 45,000. Boudreau dipped to 192,000, well down from his earlier high point of 310,000.
