Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Barny Boatman, winner of a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2013, opened the betting with a raise to 400 from the cutoff and Frenchman Guillaume Diaz defended his big blind with a call.

Diaz checked to Boatman on the {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Boatman made a continuation bet of 500 and Diaz called. The turn was another nine, this one the {9-Clubs} and Diaz checked again. Boatman kept his foot on the gas and made it 1,000 to go. Diaz wasn't prepared to pay and extra 1,000 and he folded.

Also on Boatman and Diaz's table is Vanessa Selbst who looks remarkably focused — as she usually is. Selbst has slightly more than starting stack with 16,800 chips.
