Boatman Chips Up
Jan 23, '09
Barny Boatman has been taking advantage of the slow speed of play that has set in to start the final table and he has chipped up to 800,000 after starting the day with the small stack of 349,000. Here is a recent hand that Boatman gained part of his 800,000:
Boatman rasied to 64,000 preflop and Sam Capra made the call. The flop was dealt Q84 and Capra checked. Boatman bet 100,000 and and Capra made the call. The 7 fell on the turn and both players checked. The 10 fell on the river and Capra led out for 115,000. Boatman went into the tank but he eventually made the call. He flipped over pocket nines and Capra mucked his hand.
