Boivin Starts Open-Shoving

David Salituro

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ekrem Bozkurt moved all in for 800,000 in the cutoff with A♠7♦, and Jen Shahade took a moment before folding K♠4♠ in the big blind.

Thomas Boivin then raised to 240,000 on the button with K♥2♦ and Gal Yifrach called in the big blind.

The flop came 9♥6♠4♠ and Boivin bet 400,000. "I should probably be jamming here," Yifrach said before folding J♣6♣.

Boivin then raised to 2,000,000 the next two hands, and the rest of the table offered little resistance.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Berk raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Thomas Boivin called on the button.

Both players checked down the 9♦6♥6♦4♥J♣ board, and Boivin's A♠10♥ beat Berk's K♥Q♣ to earn him the pot.

Boivin then opened to 240,000 in the cutoff with K♠5♣ and Ekrem Bozkurt called in the big blind.

Both players checked the Q♣J♠7♣ flop. Boivin then bet 225,000 on the 3♠ turn, and Bozkurt folded K♦7♠.

"Show the bluff one time," Bozkurt said, and Boivin showed him his king.

"Ace-king, value bet," Boivin said.

"I almost went for it. I had something on the flop," Bozkurt added.

Boivin took down the blinds and ante the next hand after opening to 240,000 under the gun with A♥10♠ and receiving no callers.
