On the J-9-9 flop, Linton bet around half the pot, only for his foe to make the call and then come out firing on the raggy turn. The river made three to the flush, and led to a check from both players.
"He's a solid player, from South Africa, I think," continued Linton. "I was worried about jacks full, it seemed to play out that way, but couldn't quite find a fold on the turn. I almost let it go though."
Meanwhile, fellow running buddy and recent GUKPT winner Sam Trickett has just eliminated a player with A-J versus pocket sevens on an ensuing J-9-3-9-2 board. However, it was only for 2,500, meaning Trickett still has around his starting stack.
against Voitto Rintala's 
. Wong caught a little good fortune and ended up chopping the pot. He was down to 300 and now has almost 1,800.
(1) Charalambos "Bambos" Xanthos found himself virtually all in, his bet of 6,000 on a
board leaving himself just a couple of thousand behind. After a lengthy session in the think tank, his foe folded 
face-up, giving Bambos a stack of 13,000.(2) On a J-J-T flop, Shane Reihill led for 500 and Nik Persaud made the call. Persaud was the aggressor from there on, however, betting 1,400 on the 8 turn and 2,300 on the 6 river. Reihill made the call. "If you have a jack, you're good," declared Persaud perhaps regretting his presumed value bet. Reihill showed A-J.
(3) Shaun Deeb lost a 4,500 pot against
on a 
board. Deeb wasn't pleased as he chucked his hand into the muck, but he still has over his starting stack.
Meanwhile, Boatman himself has been bumping and grinding, his stack reaching the dizzy heights of 15,000. According to the horse's mouth, he made a squeeze play with pocket fours only for the non-raiser to make the call. On an A-T-7 flop, Boatman bet, his opponent raised, and Boatman raised again. After a brief pause, his opponent folded, and Boatman gleefully showed his paltry pair. "Since then, they've been terrified of me," he added, although that may be due to his lack of sleep more than anything else.
