Boatman Continues Sail Away from the Pack
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
With A♠J♠, Peter Jorgne raised to 160,000 from the hijack. Barny Boatman defended his big blind with 9♥7♦.
The 10♥8♣5♦ flop checked through to the 9♣ turn, to give Boatman the lead with a pair of nines. Both players also had an open-ended straight draw. Boatman bet 215,000 and was called.
The 6♥ river gave Boatman the straight and a bet of 500,000 folded out Jorgne.
