Barny Trouble

It really hasn't been the best of days for the Hendon Mob, with all three members participating today meeting a very early demise. The last man standing was Barny Boatman, but even he's walked the plank now, and in bizarre circumstances too.

It all started when his opponent threw in 2,000 preflop without announcing raise. The tournament director flew in like a caped crusader and swiftly ruled that it was a call.

As the action found its way to Boatman, the Hendon Mobber joked, "You probably saved us both 700 there" and duly checked his option. Out came an 8-9-8 flop, where Boatman check-raised his foe's leading bet of 1,200 to 3,200.

On the seven turn, Boatman check-called a bet of 4,000 before pushing all in on the queen river for around 11,000. Quicker than a cheetah on Concord, his opponent made the call and flipped pocket queens, and Boatman was gone.
