Boyd Busted
We caught up with Dutch Boyd just as he was placing a 1,200 bet in the middle of the table on a 
board. His opponent in early position made the call. A 
turn lead to another bet from Boyd who fired out 2,400 this time. Boyd's opponent again called fairly quickly.
A river let Boyd continue his aggression with a 3,500 bet. Boyd was only left with 2,800 chips after this bet and his opponent raised him just that. Boyd confused, but still confident made the call and to his horror saw his opponent flip , for a full house fours over threes. Before Boyd walked away he showed 
for a set of threes.
