There was a modest 400 chips in the pot by the 
flop when Ross Boatman bet out 300 from the small blind position. One player in early position called, another in mid position folded, and Boatman was heads up to the turn.
The turn was the 
and this time Boatman bet out 800. His opponent called, and they proceeded to the river.
Boatman bet out a chunky 2,200 on the 
river and his opponent called again, but promptly mucked when Boatman revealed 
for a turned straight. With that little bit of good fortune, Boatman moved up to 35,600.
One Tony Swift on the button piped up, "I had ace-three, oh my god." He said he'd intended to either limp or raise with it, but ended up folding instead. Probably a lucky escape there, although we don't think Boatman offered any information on what he would he would have done with his had Swift raised.
