Boivin Doubles Twice!
Thomas Boivin was forced all in from the big blind and Miroslav Atanasov called in the small blind to put him at risk.
Thomas Boivin: A♥9♣
Miroslav Atanasov: K♥3♣
Boivin held the lead with his ace and kept it on the Q♦5♥Q♠9♦4♣ runout for the double-up.
On the very next hand, Atanasov raised to 170,000 on the button and Boivin shoved for 205,000 from the small blind. Joao Simao called in the big blind with 10♠7♣ and Atanasov called as well for a side pot.
Simao check-folded facing a 140,000 bet from Atanasov on the 3♦4♦8♣ flop and a showdown was held between Atanasov and Boivin.
Thomas Boivin: A♣A♦
Miroslav Atanasov: 9♦7♦
It was a perfect time to pick up aces for Boivin, but he needed to fade the flush draw of Atanasov.
The 7♠ turn and 3♣ river kept Boivin best and he was awarded yet another double-up to grow his stack to 695,000.
