Big Double for Boivin

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 21 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Thomas Boivin raised to 16,000 on the button, and Dario Sammartino called in the big blind.

The action checked through on the 5♦9♣4♦ flop, tempting Sammartino to lead out for 14,000 on the 7♠ turn, which Boivin called.

Sammartino continued for 48,000 on the K♠ river, but was met with an all-in for 258,000 from Boivin. Sammartino took his time in deciding what to do, ultimately calling. It was bad news, though, as Boivin showed K♥4♣ for two pair, besting the K♦8♠ of Sammartino.
