Minus One Boatman

Barney Boatman
Barney Boatman

The Brothers Boatman were just broken onto the same table, but the partnership didn't last long.

Under the gun, Tom Dwan made it 13,000 to go, and Barny Boatman called from the small blind. The two of them took a flop of {9-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}, and both of them checked very slowly and deliberately.

The turn {8-Spades} landed on the board, and Boatman slowly checked again. Dwan carefully stacked out 19,000 chips and placed them delicately into the pot. In a sudden quickening of the action, Boatman practically beat him into the pot with an all-in shove for about 40,000 total, and the call from Dwan came just as instantly to put Boatman in danger. And he was behind:

Dwan: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} (nut straight)
Boatman: {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} {3-Clubs} (flush draw)

The river was the {5-Clubs}, and that was the wrong shade of black for Mr. Boatman. Unable to improve on his last chance, he's made his exit here late in the night.

Dwan has increased his chip lead over this field, and he has his table cowering to his 590,000-chip stack.
