Boivin Gives Green a Taste of His Own Medicine

Adam Lamers

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Thomas Boivin raised to 110,000 in middle position and Richard Green flat-called in the hijack on his left. They went heads-up to a 7♥5♦3♠ flop and the action checked through to the K♣ on the turn and the 5♣ on the river.

Boivin checked for a third time and Green counted out a bet of 330,000. Boivin check-raised to 725,000 and Green looked him up. Boivin flipped over A♣A♦ for two pair and Green was unable to beat it.

It was just recently that Green got sneaky with pocket aces and managed to get paid off and now had the tables turned on him.
