Boivin Catches the River for a Double
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Brandon Sheils raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Thomas Boivin called from the big blind. The flop came A♠8♣5♠ and Boivin check-called a bet of 185,000 from Sheils.
The turn brought the 10♥ and Boivin check-called another bet of 365,000 from Sheils. The 9♠ completed the board and Boivin checked for the third time. Sheils shoved all in and Boivin instantly called off his stack of 765,000. Sheils turned over A♣8♥ for two pair but Boivin had 10♠3♠ for a rivered flush.
"Maybe I should have checked," Sheils said to himself after the hand.
