Boatman Not Drowning Yet

A small pot represents a lifeline for Ross Boatman.

He found himself in the big blind position with 17,000 in the pot, 23,000 or so left in his stack, and facing a {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} board and a 12,000 bet from Ashton Griffin on the button. Boatman tanked for some time, before resignedly tossing in the call. It was a good call -- Griffin only turned over his two best cards which turned out to be an {A-?} and a {K-?}, and Boatman took the pot with a pair in his hand to put him up to 40,000.
