Bonzai Boncore

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Facing a Jody Peterson raise, John Jemiolo shipped it in, but Mike Boncore woke up with a hand in the big blind and made the call for his tournament life.

Peterson folded and it was Jemiolo's fives against Boncore's {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop was safe for Jemiolo, but the {q-Diamonds} turn was anything but. The {4-Hearts} river locked up the double for Boncore and chopped early leader Jemiolo down to size.
