Boivin Plays It Safe

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised it up from under the gun and Thomas Boivin re-raised to 3,000 on the button. Jean-Noel Thorel flat-called from the small blind and Kisacikoglu also made the call. The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and all three players opted to knuckle the table.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and Thorel took the initiative with a bet of 3,500. Kisacikoglu called and Boivin came along as well. The river was the {5-Spades} and the action checked to Boivin who quickly checked it back, assuming he could get no value from his hand.

Thorel tabled {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, Kisacikoglu showed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, but it was Boivin with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the best hand and he scooped the pot.
