Boivin Goes Runner-Runner to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Thomas Boivin raised to 8,000 on the button and Pieter Aerts three-bet to 28,000 from the big blind. Boivin called.
Aerts went for a check on the 5♥Q♦9♣ flop and Boivin bet 16,000. Aerts continued with a call.
Aerts checked again when he saw the K♥ turn, and Boivin fired a second barrel of 30,000. Aerts called.
A final check from Aerts followed the 9♥ river, causing Boivin to jam for 56,700. Aerts tanked for quite some time before eventually deciding on a call.
Boivin showed K♣8♣ for kings and nines to double up, while Aerts revealed Qx5x for an inferior two pair.
