Boivin Drills the River to Double Off Yifrach
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Richard Green raised to 160,000 in the cutoff before Jen Shahade three-bet to 380,000 on the button. Green folded and Shahade took the pot.
Thomas Boivin then raised to 175,000 in early position and picked up calls from Gal Yifrach in the cutoff and Abdullah Akbarpoor in the big blind.
The flop came Q♠9♣5♠ and action checked to Yifrach who bet 275,000. Akbarpoor folded, but Boivin raised to 600,000. Yifrach then moved all in, and Boivin snap-called for 1,885,000.
Thomas Boivin: A♠K♠ 
Gal Yifrach: 5♣5♥
Yifrach was ahead with his flopped set, while Boivin was on the nut flush draw. The 10♦ turn also gave Boivin a straight draw, and he hit his flush on the 7♠ river to win the pot and double up.
