Boulton's Big Hero Call is Restores the Lead
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Lukas Dimsa raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Joshua Boulton called in the small blind. Rickie Vedhara then raised to 850,000 out of the big blind for Dimsa to fold, while Boulton reluctantly called.
They checked all the way to the river on which Boulton checked. Vedhara bet 650,000 and that sent Boulton deep into the tank. Alexios Zervos waited four minutes until he called the clock on Boulton, apologising "sorry guys but I only have seven blinds."
Boulton was given 30 seconds to act and he called during that time. Vedhara tabled the for a bluff and Boulton had that beat with the for a pair of tens.
