Tyler Boyer

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Blair Hinkle opened the action from middle position with a raise to 1,000, which was called by the player in the cutoff.

Both players checked the 4♣9♣5♥ flop, which brought the K♦ on the turn. Hinkle then bet out 2,500 which was called.

The river was the 7♥ and the cutoff called another bet from Hinkle, this time for 6,000. Hinkle then tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, which was good to take the pot as his opponent quickly mucked.

Action was picked up in a three-bet pot with roughly 10,500 in the pot, and the board showing 4♦2♣10♣.

Gifford was in front with his pocket jacks but would need to fade the two overs of his opponent to stay in the tournament. The board ran out 8♠ on the turn, and 6♣ on the river, giving him the pot and the double up.
