Dutch Making a Run?

[user75032]

This first level of the day is still treating Dutch Boyd very kindly. He made aces and threes on sixth street against an opponent who had him beat on fifth street with aces and several higher kickers. Boyd's opponent finished with four to a flush, four to Broadway and a pair of aces, not enough to bet Boyd's aces and threes.

A few hands later Boyd was dealt {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Spades}

/

{10-Diamonds}

and went for a short-stack kill after being dealt the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

on fourth street. The short stack was all in with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

/

{3-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

and never improved. Boyd, however, drew the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

on the river to make a king-high straight.

Boyd is now the chip leader with 68,500 chips.
