Boskovic Sr Leaves Endersby Short

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante
Travis Endersby
Travis Endersby

Right after winning a bigger pot off Hussein Hassan with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} on a {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board, Dejan Boskovic Sr raised to 500 first to act. Vesko Zmukic called from two seats over and Travis Endersby in the big blind squeezed to 2,700 in the big blind. Only Boskovic Sr called and they headed to the {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop on which Endersby bet 2,100 and Boskovic Sr called.

After the {9-Spades} turn, Endersby made it 4,600 to go and Boskovic Sr raised to 12,000, Endersby called after some consideration.

The {2-Clubs} river was checked by Endersby and Boskovic Sr now bet 17,800. That sent Endersby in the think tank and he eventually called for more than half of his remaining stack. Boskovic Sr rolled over {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a turned full house and Endersby mucked.

"I should have checked the turn after I saw you just flatting with kings," Endersby added in table chat.
