Boatman Tangles With Lakhdari ... Again
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Barny Boatman opened to 50,000 with the Q♥Q♣ out of the hijack. He was once again three-bet by Omar Lakhdari to 165,000 with the A♥10♠ out of the curtoff and Boatman called with the words "I can't fold" to hit top set on the Q♦7♠2♦ flop.
Boatman checked and Lakhdari quickly bet 125,000 for Boatman to "kiss his chips goodbye" before tossing them into the middle. The 8♦ turn saw Boatman lead for 250,000 into a pot of 640,000 and Lakhdari inquired "how much do you have" while pondering about his decision.
Lakhdari folded and Boatman raked in the pot.
