Philippe Boucher has seen his chip graph steadily increase through these first few levels. He just played out a hand in position and managed to win it without showdown.
He raised to 2,500 from the button and Palevic three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind. Victor Ramdin called quickly from the big blind and that helped bring in Boucher.
The flop was
