Boxell Booms the River
When we arrived at Leo Boxell's table, there was a board out on the felt, with Boxell, Stewart Ballard and one other player involved the hand. Boxell's two opponents were in the blinds and checked to Boxell, who bet 2,700. Ballard, from the small blind, let his hand go, while the big blind player made the call.
The completed the board on the river and again the play was checked to Boxell. After just a few moments, Ballard flicked out a 5,000-denomination chip. A call from his opponent would prompt Boxell to turn over , for a rivered straight. Boxell's opponent hesitated to turn his cards over, prompting Boxell to say, "you're not going to turn over a flush on me?" The player didn't do that, instead he slid his cards into the muck and Boxell raked in the pot.
