Bad Beats By Boyaci

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

When we arrived at the table, all the cards were tabled and Danny Boyaci's stack was being cut down. The board read {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and in front Boyaci laid {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, cracking Cyr's {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} on the turn.

Boyaci scored the double up, but both players are below average stack.
