Wolpert Rivers Boat

Level 2 : 300/600, 75 ante

We came to Table 440 with the dealer burning and turning the river card in a large pot, which made the board {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Leo Wolpert, who was under the gun, announced all in, and Lech Boltryk quickly called off his remaining stack of 14,000 or so. Wolpert showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for kings full, and Boltryk collected his payout slip from the tournament director.

Boyd Nearly Out

Level 2 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player on the button opened for a raise at able 436, and Dutch Boyd three-bet to 3,900 in the small blind. In the big blind, Michael Ogrady four-bet to 14,000, and the original raiser ducked out of the way. Boyd slid forward two towers of chips, announcing all in. Ogrady obliged.

Ogrady: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Boyd: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Boyd turned his hand face down after the first four cards came {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, knowing he was drawing dead.
