Boatman Takes Two
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Barny Boatman, Craig Jones, and Jack Dreifuss were in for 2,100 each heading to a flop, which came 10♣J♦3♠. Everyone checked on the flop and it was checked again to Boatman, who fired 5,000 into the middle on the 7♠ turn from the button. Dreifuss called from the small blind and Jones folded from middle position.
Both players checked on the K♣ river and Dreifuss announced, "Bottom pair" — prompting Boatman to show 10♠8♠ for a pair of tens to claim the pot.
On the very next hand, Sean Lindsey opened from middle position and Boatman three-bet to 2,200 from the cutoff. It was folded back to Lindsey, who called.
Lindsey check-folded facing a 2,800 bet from Boatman on the Q♣4♣K♥ flop — awarding Boatman his second pot in a row.
