Boatman Doubles Up
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Xavier Sala raised to 800 on the button. Guy Cicconi called from the small blind before PokerStars ambassador Barny Boatman three-bet to 3,100 out of the big blind. Sala and Cicconi both called.
Cicconi checked the 10♠5♣Q♦ flop and Boatman moved all-in for 17,100 total. Only Sala called and the cards were revealed.
Barny Boatman: A♣K♣ 
Xavier Sala: K♠Q♠
The 2♣ came on the turn and the 3♣ hit the river, improving Boatman to the nut flush and earning him a full double up at the expense of Sala.
