Mugar Bombs the River
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ekrem Bozkurt raised to 55,000 in the cutoff and was called by Thomas Boivin on the button and Peter Mugar in the big blind. The flop came 10♣7♠7♦ and the action checked around to the 8♥ on the turn.
Mugar led out with a bet of 50,000 and Bozkurt called, while Boivin got out of the way. The river was the 4♦ and Mugar reached back for a large bet of 350,000. Bozkurt thought for a brief moment but then slid his cards into the muck.
