Graham Doubles Through Boskovic Sr

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Dejan Boskovic Sr
Dejan Boskovic Sr

With a ton of chips already in the middle and the completed board showing {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Dejan Boskovic Sr checked and Connie Graham moved all in for 40,700. Boskovic Sr gave it some thought and made the call.

Graham rolled over the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Boskovic Sr was beat with the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Both stacks were counted and Boskovic Sr had Graham covered by fewer than one big blind. He ended up forced all in for 1,100 out off the big blind in the next hand and Sam Capra raised to 4,500 in order to force out everyone else.

Dejan Boskovic Sr: {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Sam Capra: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop gave Capra a pair and a flush draw, leaving Boskovic Sr with very few outs. Nothing changed on the {6-Clubs} turn and the {3-Hearts} river improved Capra to a flush.

"Good luck darling," Boskovic Sr said on his way out when shaking hands with Graham.
