Boeken Misses Monster Draw

Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken
With the board reading {6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, I joined the action with Noah Boeken sliding a bet (or perhaps raise) of 11,500 across the felt, which equated to virtually half his stack.

George Shah, meanwhile, took no time in reraising all in, a move that was called equally as quickly by Boeken.

On their backs, and the hands were as follows:

Boeken = {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Shah = {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Boeken held his breath as the dealer's hand neared the deck, but upon the {Q-Clubs} hitting the felt for the full house, the Dutchman's tensions erupted and he punched the air in frustration.

As the academic {8-Hearts} arrived on the river, Boeken continued to shake his head in dismay, part ruing his misfortune and part trying to convince himself that he could have seen a cheap turn.

Whilst the Dutchman is down to the felt with 6,000, Shah is now rubbing his hands with glee with a meatalicous 60,000 in chips.
