Barny Boatman has already been involved in an action pot with this hand taking place as our PokerNews reporter caught the action with the board showing 
.
There were two other players in the pot and one of them shoved their stack allin for 11,700 sending the action Boatman's way. With one player behind him, Boatman decided he too would move his 16,675 in the pot. With the other player not wanting to tangle with Boatman it would be one players tournament life on the line or a big double-up for Boatman looming.

Hitting trips on the flop would be good enough and when the river bricked, Boatman would send his rival packing, as this little dialogue played out between Boatman and local player Jim Sachinidis.
"Barny, you weren't thinking of folding?", Sachinidis asked.
"I was actually thinking about going up to the cage to get more money to raise!", replied Boatman as he gathered up his now 38,000 chip stack.
