Boatman Doubles Through Messmer

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Aaron Messmer opened to 300,000 from middle position, Justin Liberto called from the button, and Barny Boatman shoved from the big blind for 1.17 million. Messmer called, and after a bit of time in the tank, Liberto folded.

Aaron Messmer: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Barny Boatman: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Boatman had the preflop advantage and Messmer needed to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and Boatman took the pot with top two pair to double up, leaving Messmer extremely short.
