Boyko's Aggression Backfires
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
At the end of the previous level, Yuriy Boyko first scooped a big pot with 
for top pair and top kicker before his relentless aggression fired back in a battle with Dmitrii Shchepkin. He check-raised all in after the river of a board showing 
.
Shchepkin, who had bet 3,000 into 10,000, called all in for his last 28,400 and was shown 
by Boyko. The Russian had that beat with 
and jumped to more than twice the starting stack.
