Boutin Sinks

From under the gun, Burt Boutin limps, and he and both blinds see a flop of {2-?} {5-?} {9-?}. The small blind bets out 500, the big blind folds, and Boutin makes a raise, putting in enough chips to cover his opponent. The small blind makes the call with {A-?} {9-?}, and Boutin needs some help for his {4-?} {4-?}. The turn and river, {K-?} {6-?}, fail to improve his hand, and he drops down to 2,425.

On the very next hand, a player in late position raises to 600. Boutin reraises all in from the big blind, showing {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. His opponent confidently tables {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} . The board runs out {4-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, and Boutin is eliminated in two quick hands.
