As The Clocks Runs Down
As the clock ran down to end level 8 it went a little action crazy
Firstly, Barny Boatman's pocket tens eliminated someone holding when all the money went in pre flop, The Hendon Mobsters opponent was short stacked and the pocket tens held up for Boatman. Then as Boatman was greeting the newest members of his chip family, Artur Wasek opened from early position and Boatman made the call. Remember that old saying about how dangerous a person is when they play a pot while still stacking their chips from their last hand! Well the small blind didn't remember it because he shoved and Wasek instantly shoved as well. Boatman looked to the heavens and eventually folded his hand, but after it was all over he wishes he hadn't. The board ran out . Wasek's pocket jacks were crushed against the small blinds aces and Boatman could only mutter about tales of what might have been as he declared that he had laid down pocket tens and would have flopped a set.
Boatman's chip stack took the elevator to floor 95,000 and Wasek took it to the basement 10,000.
On a nearby table Nicolas Levi and Bernahrd Braumandl found themselves locked in a big hand. We caught the action with 48,000 in the pot and a board of . The action was eventually checked down and Levi scooped the pot with two black Jacks and Braumandl folded face down.
Levi stack is now 105,000 and Braumandl is now 86,000
