Minkin Gets Bumped by Boatman

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With about 30,000 in the pot already on a board reading {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Barny Boatman checked from the big blind. Kelly Minkin was in the cutoff and bet 10,000. Boatman quickly check-raised to 55,000 and Minkin called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Boatman checked. Minkin reached for chips and bet 55,500. Boatman instantly moved all in and Minkin counted out her stack before deciding to call.

Boatman tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a set of eights and Minkin rapped the table and said "nice hand" as she tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, drawing dead to the {a-Diamonds} on the river.

Minkin was eliminated and Boatman stacked up a mountain of chips in back-to-back hands.
