Boker Up Big Early

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Torsten Boker
Torsten Boker

A player in middle position limped as did the cutoff, button and small blind. Torsten Boker in the big blind was not, however, prepared to let so many players see a cheap flop, opting to raise to 1,800. That was enough to force out the middle position, cutoff and button players but the small blind decided to call.

Action was checked to Boker on a flop of {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and he continued for 1,500. The small blind, seemingly unconvinced, called.

The {10-Hearts} turn saw the small blind seize the betting lead in dramatic fashion, moving their entire stack into the middle. Boker snapped it off with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.

Small Blind Player: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Torsten Boker: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Boker was ahead with his overpair, needing only to fade a five on the river. He did just that after the {a-Spades} completed the board, handing him a large pot while sending his opponent to the rail.
