Boatman Rivered from Eureka Main Event
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
"Do you get a prize or something?" a player at Christos Argyriadis' table asked the Greek player, who had just sent PokerStars Ambassador to the rail. Argyriadis recounted the hand, with him opening to 1,100 and calling a three-bet from Boatman to 3,100 out of the small blind.
Boatman continued for 2,500 on the Qx8x3x flop and Argyriadis called. The turn was a 2x and Boatman bet 5,000. Argyriadis raised to 10,000 and Boatman raised all in for around 25,000. Argyriadis called.
Barny Boatman: 3x2x 
Christos Argyriadis: AxQx
Boatman was ahead having turned two pair, but the river Ax improved Argyriadis to a better two pair and Boatman was eliminated.
