Pirsic Sinks Against Boatman

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Miha Pirsic, who was down to less than 10,000 earlier in the day, had managed to rebuild his stack up to around 50,000 as he and Barny Boatman saw a flop of 8?Q?6?.

Pirsic then got the rest of his chips in from the cutoff against Boatman in middle position.

Miha Pirsic: Q?9?8?5?
Barny Boatman: A?K?Q?8?

Pirsic had top two pair, while Boatman had the nut flush draw. The turn came the 7? and Boatman completed his flush, leaving Pirsic needing help on the river.

He didn't get it on the 5? and Boatman dragged in the massive pot while Pirsic headed off to the rail.
