Boxell Battles For Life

Leo Boxell won't go down without a fight, managing to scrape through with a double-up and keep his tournament life alive when this hand played out.

Willcocks raised to 100,000 and Boxell made the call.

The flop fell {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Boxell checked to the aggressor who made it 150,000. Boxell then popped it to 500,000 at which point Willcocks moved all-in. Boxell thought for a few moments before making a call and the players turned their hands over.

Willcocks: {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Boxell: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

It was a big over pair for Willcocks and middle-pair and a gutshot straight draw for Boxell. The turn came the {4-Hearts} and Boxell would double-up when he dodged the eight on the river that could have made it a chop.
