Moments ago, Leo Boxell was able to double up through American Thomas Slifka.

Slifka opened the pot with a raise to 75,000 from the cutoff and Wayne Carlson made the call on the button. Action then moved to Boxell who three-bet to 200,000. Slifka then reraised all in, Carlson folded and Boxell made the call for about 562,000 more, setting up a preflop all-in showdown:

Boxell: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

Slifka:

{K-Diamonds}

The board filled out {8-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

giving Boxell top set, cementing his double up.

After the hand, Slifka dropped to 820,000 while Boxell improved to 1.35 million.
