Saxby Is Sick

[user344984]

Level 10 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Kelly Saxby opened with a raise under the gun to 50,000, with action folding all the way round to Thomas Boivin in the big blind. He made the call as the two players took a flop heads-up.

Boivin checked over to Saxby, who put out a continuation bet of 65,000, and was quickly called. On the turn, Boivin took control, leading into Saxby for 185,000, before Saxby fired back with a raise to 460,000. After some thought, Boivin shoved all-in for Saxby's 1,500,000 remaining stack. Saxby snap-called and the cards were on their backs.

Both players turned a flush, with Saxby's leaving Boivin's drawing to just one out. Unfortunately for Saxby, one out was plenty, and Boivin hit the for the straight flush, knocking Saxby out.
