Boeken Hits Gin On The River To Stay Alive

Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken
Three players, including Noah Boeken, found themselves all in preflop. Boeken was trailing in the hand, holding {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Boeken catapulted into the lead however as the flop came down {7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. It wasn't over yet however as the {J-Clubs} on the turn spelled disaster for the Dutch phenom. He was down to his last out with one card to come. The dealer wasted no time laying down the {7-Spades} on the river for Boeken's miracle card. He tripled up and now has about 4000 chips.

After being sucked out on in an earlier hand, Thomas Wahlroos moved all in for his last 500 and was called by the big blind. Wahlroos showed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} while his opponent turned over {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

"I don't care anymore at this point. If I bust, I go to the pool," said Wahlroos.

His opponent proceeded to flop quads when it came down {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

"F$*& you all!" Wahlroos said with a laugh as he headed outside.

The player in the big blind showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a flopped set and John Gale exposed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for the overpair. The turn and river were {10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and John Gale was eliminated.
