Thomas Boivin

Guenter Castro was standing up and tabling {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the nuts when we arrived, but he still had a big sweat against {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} held by Thomas Boivin on {2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Boivin was all in for 75,500 and missed on the {9-Clubs} turn, making a meaningless pair. The {q-Diamonds} river gave him a straight though, and Castro sent over nearly all of his chips.
