Judge Leo Boothe:
Yousef Saleh:
Boothe would need to improve for his third HPT Ameristar Vicksburg Final Table to continue, but a flop and turn left Boothe looking for a six-outer to survive.
"Four of spades," Saleh said.
Sure enough, the river came out, leaving Boothe out in seventh, while Saleh continues his dominance of this final table.

BJ McBrayer jammed for 60,000 from the hijack, and Judge Leo Boothe said he was making a "real loose" call in the big blind before tossing in calling chips.
BJ McBrayer:
Judge Leo Boothe:
Some chop outs fell for Boothe on the flop, but the turn and river blanked off to give McBrayer the double.
The very next hand, McBrayer ripped his last 144,000 in from middle position, and Sley Sanchez made the call in the big blind.
BJ McBrayer:
Sley Sanchez:
McBrayer's pair held on the flop, but the turn opened a host of new outs for Sanchez, giving him both counterfeit outs and a flush draw. The river completed Sanchez's flush, and our defending HPT Ameristar Vicksburg champ falls a few spots shy of defending his crown.
