Noah's Nemesis

Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken built a nice stack early today, but now seems to have found a nemesis on his table that he is struggling to overcome. The two have been exchanging plenty of chips and verbal warfare throughout the afternoon.

In a recent hand both players toyed with each other by refusing to view the flop or turn, with both streets checked in the dark by both players.

The river arrived to produce a board of {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Boeken's opponent announced "pot" in full knowledge that a pot bet is not a valid bet amount in No Limit Holdem. He eventually committed 4,200 into the pot and Boeken grimaced before making the call. His opponent flipped over a set of nines which was too good for Boeken as he flashed a queen before mucking his hand. Boeken is now down to around 17,000 in chips.
