Boatman Gambles to Bust Ramos and Lakhov
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Barny Boatman raised to 400 and Felipe Ramos three-bet to 1,400. Alexander Lakhov four-bet the size of the pot with little behind and Boatman joked "okay I gamble" before moving all in after Ramos' and Lakhov's friendly chatter about the re-entry format ensured that all three stacks would go in preflop.
Felipe Ramos: 
Alexander Lakhov: 
Barny Boatman: 
"Oh, I have two suits," Boatman said after discovering the hands of his opponents and the board ran out 
to give the defending champion two pair. Ramos was the shortest stack with 4,325 to bust and Boatman had 7,650 to cover Lakhov. It is very likely that Ramos and Lakhov will be joining the action again shortly.
