Bolden Blow up Doubles Bach, Surges Schulman to Chip Lead

First, on a {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Clubs} board, Gary Bolden led out from the small blind for 65,000 and David Bach moved all in from the hijack for 119,000 total. Bolden made the call as the players revealed their hands.

Bach: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Boldin: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Boldin had top pair, a queen-high flush draw and a low draw. Bach had a pair of sixes, the nut flush draw and a better low draw. The river was the {6-Clubs} which completed Bach’s higher flush and better low to give him the scoop and double him up while dropped Boldin down to 290,000.

Shortly after, Nick Schulman raised to 15,000 preflop and was called by Bolden who was next to act as well as the big blind. On the {K-}{8-}{4-} flop with two clubs, the big blind checked to Schulman who bet 40,000. Bolden raised to 170,000, the big blind folded and Schulman shoved. Bolden called all in and the players showed their hands.

Schulman: {A-}{K-}{8-}{2-}
Bolden: {A-}{8-}{4-}{2-}

The turn and river bricked out and Schulman won the pot with his higher two pair to eliminate Bolden and take a sizeable chip lead.
