Zaven's Aces, Boxell's Apparent Kings

Australian Hall of Famer Leo Boxell has got away from Kings.

The Action started with Boxell raising from early position to 2,200 and finding two callers in Ken Demlakian in middle position and Nathan Turner on the button. Zaven Demlakian was in the small blind and three bet to 7,800 here. Boxell thought for a long period of time before making the call as did Ken Demlakian and Turner. The flop fell to which Zaven Demlakian fired out a bet of 23,000. Boxell was clearly feeling the pressure and went into the tank for three minutes before releasing his hand into the muck in disgust.

The other two quickly released their hands and Zaven Demlakian showed pocket aces and Boxell stated “I folded the Kings, I knew it was either aces or queens but I didn’t think you would do that with queens.”

Boxell’s tournament life is saved but is still low with just under 25,000 while Zaven Demlakian climbs to 88,000.
