Boatman on the Rocks

Our PokerNews reporter picked up the action on a board that read {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, where a player in middle position checked to Hendon Mobster Barny Boatman, who led out for 2,200 from the button.

The middle position player check-raised to 8,000 and Boatman called before the river {J-Hearts}, where the middle position player splashed out 10,000. Boatman called, but wasn't all that thrilled to see that his rival had tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

"I had a set too," Boatman lamented. "I had sixes."

Yikes. It could have been worse!
