Botabayev's Boat Buries Blain's Kings

[user67765]

Darkhan Botabayev

Dermot Blain raised to 75,000 from the cutoff position and Darkhan Botabayev made the call in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

and Botabayev checked to Blain who made it 100,000 to play. Botabayev decided the price was right and tossed out calling chips.

The turn brought a repeat {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and both players checked. The river was the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

and Botabayev deliberated before splashing 125,000 into the middle. Blain made a quick call.

Botabayev flipped a monster, {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

for a full house as Blain flashed {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

.

Botabayev collects a nice pot but you have to think that Blain would be somewhat relieved to have gotten away from that situation relatively cheaply.
