Thomas Boivin and Tim Reilly are sitting right next to each other, and just now they were involved in a hand against one another.

Tim Reilly recently finished in fourth place in Event #23: THE MARATHON - $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em cashing $224,316, his second highest cash ever. Meanwhile Thomas Boivin finished second in Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT. He cashed $159,273 for that achievement, which is also his second-highest cash ever.

In the hand Boivin raised to 300 from the small blind and Reilly called from the big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Boivin bet 350 and Reilly called. The turn gave them the {10-Spades}. Boivin bet 1,300, Reilly raised to 3,300 and Boivin called.

The {Q-Hearts} on the river completed the board, and Boivin check-called the 5,500 bet of Reilly. Reilly showed {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} but was bested by Boivin who showed {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a turned straight to win the pot.
