Boatman Hits Boat to Grab Chip Lead
Aleksejs Ponakovs looked down at K?9? in the small blind and limped in. Barny Boatman checked his 3?3? in the big blind and a flop of 5?4?J? was dealt. Ponakovs made a bet of 250,000 chips and Boatman quickly folded his underpair.
The next hand, Boatman limped in from the small blind with 10?7? and David Kaufmann checked his Q?8?. Boatman flopped trips on 9?7?7? and bet 275,000. Kaufmann tossed in a call and the pair went off to the 10? turn.
Boatman checked his full house, seeing Kaufmann bet 1,000,000 chips. Boatman used one time bank extension before making the call and the 8? river completed the board.
Boatman decided to lead out of 1,200,000 chips and this sent Kaufmann into the tank. He came out with a raise to 5,000,000. Boatman then three-bet jammed for 15,725,000 chips and Kaufmann quickly let his hand go, resulting in Boatman gaining a huge chip lead.
