Boika Good at Showdown

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Aliaksei Boika had made it 8,000 to go from the small blind after an open, and only the player in the cutoff called.

On the 8♥10♣K♠ flop, Boika led out for 5,000, which the hijack called to see the 5♥ turn. Boika checked, the hijack bet 18,000, and Boika called.

When the 5♦ paired the board on the river, both quickly checked and Boika's 10♠9♠ was good at showdown with a pair of tens.
