Barny Boatman Makes a Huge Call and Gets a Huge Stack
The player under the gun raised to 225,000, the next player to act called, Barny Boatman called from middle position, and the button three-bet to 810,000. The original raiser called, as did the next player to act, and Boatman tanked for nearly a minute before he four-bet to 1,825,000. The button went into the tank for about as long and ultimately called, the under-the-gun player called, and the next player to act got out of the way.
The flop came 
and all three players checked.
The 
fell on the turn and the under-the-gun player bet 1,250,000. Boatman called and the button folded.
The 
fell on the river and the under-the-gun player jammed for 3,750,000. Boatman went into the tank for over two minutes and ultimately called. Boatman tabled 
and his top two pair was good enough to win the pot against his opponent's 
.
