The action was three-handed on the flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}, when Dutch Boyd bet 10,000, Daniel Strelitz called, and the third player folded.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}, and Boyd check-called a bet from Strelitz.

On the river {q-Diamonds} Boyd checked once more, and Strelitz continued his aggression by betting 85,000.

"Pretty sick!" announced Boyd, and took a few moments of thought before making the call.

Daniel Strelitz: {6-Spades}{7-Spades}

Both players had flopped trip sixes but Boyd's ace kicker played, and he took down a big pot to close the gap on the chip leaders.
