Rail Hits Bolotin

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Bolotin entered the Day as chip leader but he could only take that momentum so far. With less than hour left on Day 2, he was already getting short stack and was forced to make his stand with {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Brandon Becker was sitting to his left and called his all in for 95,000 with {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Bolotin's road will end here. Becker, on the other hand, has chipped up to 590,000 with that pot.
