Boucher Busting Stacks

Stanislav Alekhin raised from early position and was quickly reraised by Philippe Boucher who made it 9,800 to see a flop. Alekhin made the call and both players were allowed to see a flop.

{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} rolled off the deck for the flop and Alekhin checked after a few moments. Boucher however put out a bet of 9,200. Alekhin again took his time to figure out what it was he wanted to do, before ultimately moving all in for around 32,000 more. Boucher made the call and cards were tabled.

Alekhin: {10-}{10-}
Boucher: {A-}{A-}

Boucher had the better pair, but Alekhin still had some outs with an open ended straight draw. The {K-Spades} on the turn changed nothing, and neither did the {9-Hearts} on the river. Boucher won the pot and now has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
