Dominik Nitsche raises to 60,000 in the cutoff and on the button, Martin Zamani three bet to 295,000. In the small blind Thomas Boivin moved all in for 1,114,000 which saw Nitsche fold and Zamani said "Jesus Christ Thomas."
He tossed in every time extension he had in front of him while pondering a decision. "So initially I made it this big with the intention to fold to you," Zamani continued, "but I think you knew that." He continued to think about his decision as most of his time extensions were used. After some more thought he put in the chips and turned over his hand.
Thomas Boivin: Q♦Q♠
Martin Zamani: 10♠10♥
The board ran out 3♥J♠7♣9♦6♥ and the queens held up for Boivin who took down a massive pot to become the tournament chip leader.
