Limped Pot Results in Big Win for Boatman
Barny Boatman limped in from under the gun, as did Patrik Antonius from the button.
"I want my cards back!" announced James Bord - obviously wanting to be involved in this family pot - after both David Oppenheim and Howard Lederer completed and checked their options respectively.
The flop was checked round to see the land on the turn with Oppenheim leading for 11,000. Lederer deliberated for several moments before raising to 31,000 as Boatman was now put into the mini-tank before stating - in reference to Lederer's raise - "I was going to do that!"
Boatman spent a further minute deliberating before moving all in as now Antonius sat there pondering a call for his tournament life. After nearly three minutes, a visibly distressed Antonius slowly passed his cards towards the muck as Oppenheim did so also.
With the action back on Lederer, he quickly tossed his cards towards the muck as the pot was pushed towards Boatman.
"Wow! That was a sick hand!" uttered Antonius as Boatman stacked his chips to over 160,000.
