Thomas Boivin Scores a Double KO

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Thomas Boivin just eliminated two players when the flop came {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}. Boivin held {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} while one opponent had {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and the other short-stacked opponent had {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The turn was the {Q-Spades} and the river {9-Diamonds} ensured Boivin's set held up to win the pot.

Boivin is fairly new to the poker scene in North America as most of his play has been throughout Europe, hailing from Charleroi, Belgium. However, he has racked up over $658,000 in live tournament earnings in the past couple years.
