Tom Booker Sends One Home

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

After a raise from Dieter Dechant and a call from Tom Booker, the player in the big blind moved all in for 9,800. Both Dechant and Booker called creating heads-up side action.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {A-Hearts} on the turn. There, Dechant checked, then called a bet of 10,000 from Booker.

The river was the {J-Spades} and Dechant checked a second time. This time, he folded to a bet of 10,000 from Booker, who showed his {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and it was good enough to best the big blind's {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Booker took down the pot and moved to right around 135,000 chips.
