Boyden Showers Kern

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tom Boyden
Tom Boyden

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Matthew Kern bet 250,000 into a pot of about 400,000. Thomas Boyden went deep into the tank to consider his options.

After several moments the clock was called on Boyden. The floor came over to start the countdown and then Boyden raised all in.

It was then time for Kern to go into the tank as he had to think about it for a while but eventually he called.

Boyden was ahead turning over the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} while Kern had a weaker kicker with the {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Kern's tournament run was over just like that.
