Another Flush for Boatman
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened on the button to 875,00 with A♥6♥ and David Kaufmann defended his big blind with the dominating A♦10♠. Kaufmann check-called for 400,000 on the K♦Q♣2♥ flop before the spoils were shared after action checked through to showdown following the 2♦ turn and 4♠ river.
Barney Boatman made it 600,000 from the button with K♥10♥, and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind with 10♣7♠. Ponakovs check-called for 500,000, bringing in the 7♥ turn. Ponakovs paired up, but Boatman made another flush against the Latvian, who again check-called for 900,000.
The 3♣ river gave the chip leader the checkmark, and he received some extra value as Ponakovs called Boatman's third barrel of 1,500,000.
