Jaraiz Makes Set, Golinski Loses Chips, Boatman Tries to Take Seat
Three players were in the pot on a flop of 3♠10♣4♥ and Mariusz Golinski checked. Eric Afriat bet 2,000, which Jose Jaraiz and Golinski both called.
The turn was the 8♦ and Golinski checked. Afriat bet 4,500, which both Jaraiz and Golinski called again.
The river came the J♣ and Afriat checked. Jaraiz sized up a bet of 16,000 and Golinski went into the tank, placing his head on his hands and leaning on the table. He eventually placed his chips in the middle in dramatic fashion. Afriat folded and players showed their cards.
Golinski had 10♠8♥ for two pair, but Jaraiz flipped over 3♥3♣ for a set of threes to win the pot. Golinski's stack was reduced to around half what it was towards the start of the level.
On the table behind, mild drama was unfolding as Barny Boatman tried to take his seat for his second bullet, only to find a player already seated who also had the same seat number on his ticket. The floor was called and the situation cleared up. Boatman took his seat with a fresh 30,000 stack.
