Engel Busts with Boat Over Boat
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Borja Gross opened to 24,000 in the cutoff and Ari Engel defended the big blind.
The 
flop saw Engel check-raise an 18,000 bet up to 57,000. Gross called.
The 
turn saw a bet of 42,000 from Engel and a call from Gross.
On the 
river, Engel jammed for his remaining stack of about 125,000. Gross quickly called.
Engel flipped over 
for a turned boat, but unfortunately for him, Gross held the 
for a better boat. Engel found himself in a gross spot and made his way to the payout desk as Gross chipped up.
