button in SafariWaalen Puts Boyer To the Test; Tkachuk Ousted
Level 22
: 15,000/25,000, 4,000 ante
Brandon Waalen was on the button and saw action fold to him. He opened to 55,000 and was three-bet to 145,000 by Kevin Boyer, who was in the big blind. Waalen called.
The flop dropped 
and Boyer made a continuation-bet of 125,000. Waalen called. The turn was 
and Boyer checked.
"All in," said Waalen, putting Boyer to a decision for his remaining 395,000. He thought for about a half-minute and then sent his cards to the deck.
As the hand was finishing, the short-stacked Vladyslav Tkachuk was eliminated from Table 3, bringing the field down to 18 and condensing the tournament down to two tables.
