Boats Are Expensive

[user140525]

Niall Charlton checked a {k-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {j-Spades} {8-Diamonds} board to Josh Tieman, and Tieman bet 18,000. Charlton caled, and Josh tabled {j-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {a-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} for jacks full of eights. Charlton mucked grumpily, slipping to 60,000 while Tieman stacked up 108,000.

In a similar hand, Gary Bolden bet 18,000 on the river of {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {7-Spades} . Mercier called to see Bolden roll over {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} for the rivered boat. "F%^k," Mercier let out, saying he'd made his nut flush with the same card. Not to worry, Mercier still has 203,000.
