The Boatman Gets Involved Early
As Thomas Kremser cries "shuffle up and deal" an immediate silence permeates the air.
Barny Boatman find himself thick in the action immediately.
There was a raise to 250 from late position and a call in the hijack before the action came around to the Hendon Mobster on the button - he made the call and the small blind completed the action and there were four of them heading for their first flop.
The pot size was 2,500.
Flop: 
The action checked around and we were at the turn.
Turn: 
There were two checks and the the player sat in the hijack seat made a bet of 1,350. Boatman thought for a little while before making the call.
The pot was now 5,200 and this hand was getting interested.
Not for long though!
River: 
The player in the hijack fired his second barrel with a bet of 4,200 and Boatman mucked instantly leaving a little dent in his starting stack of 30,000.
