Barny Boatman's River Call
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
There was a limp for 1,000 from under the gun before Barny Boatman raised to 3,000. Gordon Vayo called in the big blind, and the under-the-gun player came along.
There was no further betting until the river of the 
board, where the under the gun player bet 4,000. Boatman had a hard think about this. He had around 17,000 behind, so it was a tough decision. Boatman called, Vayo mucked, and his opponent said, “Nice call.”
Boatman showed 
, and his pair of queens took the pot.
