They Don't Call Him Boatman For Nothing

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Barny Boatman, the defending champ in this event, was faced with an 1,100-chip bet on a hand with a little more than 3,000 chips in the middle and the board reading {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

He shipped it in for 2,300 total and naturally, his heads-up opponent made the call. Boatman quickly turned over the old {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and the boat was good.
