Boyles Survives Against Gross
Level 14
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
James Boyles was down to 22,000 when he jammed from the button. Jeff Gross isolated in the small blind by shoving for more to put Boyles at risk after the big blind folded.
James Boyles: Q♦J♥
Jeff Gross: A♠6♠
Gross stayed in the lead on the 10♥8♦10♦ flop, but Boyles did gain more outs with a gutshot straight draw.
That straight draw changed to open-ended when the K♦ turn hit, which also improved Boyles with flush outs to go with his straight outs.
The J♣ river was one of the many cards Boyles needed to stay alive as he secured the double.
