Boatman Best With Aces
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Barny Boatman opened to 40,000 in middle position before he was three-bet to 85,000 by Fabian Bernhauser in the hijack.
Milos Petakovic joined the clicking battle by four-betting to 160,000, after which it folded back to Boatman. He quickly moved all in for 330,000, prompting Bernhauser to get out of the way.
Petakovic shrugged and called off, however, putting the 2024 EPT Paris Main Event champion at risk.
Barny Boatman: A♥A♦ 
Milos Petakovic: A♣Q♦
The deck had no outs left for Petakovic after the 10♣3♠6♠9♦ turn, and he paid Boatman what he owed on the 8♥ river.
