Davies Increases Lead With River Shove
Level 22
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
The first hand of the new level saw Seth Davies open to 1,500,000 with the 6♥6♦ on the button and Thomas Boivin three-bet to 6,000,000 in the small blind holding the A♠9♦. It folded back to Davies who called and Boivin took the lead with the A♦K♦2♣ flop.
Boivin bet only 2,600,000 into a pot of 13,200,000 and Davies stuck around to see the 8♠ on the turn. After some consideration, Boivin opted to check and Davies checked it back as both got to see the Q♥ river for free. Following another check by Boivin with his top pair, Davies also took a while before making his next move.
That happened to be a shove with the superior stack and he got Boivin to lay down the superior hand.
