Boker Continues to Climb

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action went four-ways to a flop of 957 where all four players checked to the J turn. Kevin Grabel led out for 4,000 in the small blind and only Torsten Boker called in early position.

The river landed the 8 and Grabel checked. Boker bet 10,00 and Grabel flicked in the call.

"Straight," announced Boker as he tabled K10 to take down the pot.
