Dutch Boyd Eliminated in 2nd Place ($192,479)
Big O
Dutch Boyd switched back to Big O and raised to 90,000 on the button, earning a call from Chad Eveslage out of the big blind. The K?6?2? flop was checked by Eveslage and Boyd bet 80,000. A check-raise for the size of the pot by Eveslage followed and Boyd got his short stack into the middle to create the following showdown.
Dutch Boyd: A?K?Q?8?5?
Chad Eveslage: K?9?8?4?3?
Both players and the rail were on their feet to see the outcome.
The 5? appeared on the turn and Eveslage stated the obvious: "That's a straight flush." Boyd could all but reply with a "that's pretty good" as his fate was sealed with the 10? on the river.
Boyd has to settle for second place and $192,479 while Eveslage wins the second Dealer's Choice Event in a row for his third WSOP gold bracelet!
