Boivin Cracks Top Two with a Flopped Straight to Bust Park
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With roughly 135,000 already in the pot and the flop showing K♥10♦J♠, Thomas Boivin checked from the big blind to Peter Park, who continued for 45,000. Boivin made the call.
The turn brought the 8♣, and Boivin checked once more. Park ramped up the pressure with a bet of 160,000, only for Boivin to respond with a check-raise to 460,000. Park took a moment, then called.
On the 8♥ river, Boivin led out for 250,000. Park went deep into the tank before announcing he was all in. After getting the count of 985,000, Boivin eventually called.
Park revealed K♣J♦ for top two pair, but Boivin tabled Q♠9♠ for a flopped straight that held up. With that, Boivin scooped a massive pot, while Park made his exit.
