Boucher Busto

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Juan Maceiras

Eugene Katchalov raised to 35,000 under the gun and Philippe Boucher shoved for around 140,000. Over to Juan Maceiras, who reshoved for an awful lot. Katchalov folded {k-Spades}{j-Spades} face up and the other two turned their cards over.

Maceiras: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Boucher: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Said Maceiras, "I take ace-three-five, just for you."
Replied Boucher, "OK. I'll take the four."

Flop: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Spades} which would have made Katchalov a Broadway straight. Cheerfully piped up Dag Palovic, "I do not understand the people who do not play the maths. The poker news, Eugene Katchalov is such a good player." Giggling all round the table.

Turn: {8-Spades} which would have made Katchalov a flush. Boucher pushed forward his {4-Spades}, singing the bit everyone knows from Jaws.

River: {2-Diamonds}

The fun was over, and Boucher was busted. Maceiras meanwhile is up to 1.3 million.
