Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Barny Boatman limped in under the gun, as did Bruno Stefanelli. Zhengfa Ye then raised to 110,000 on the button, Boatman moved all in, Stefanelli folded, but Ye called for his last 245,000.
Zhengfa Ye: A♠A♣8♥4♦
Barny Boatman: K♠K♥7♥3♦
Ye had Boatman needing help after running into a cooler as they went to the 9♣2♠4♠ flop. The 6♦ turn gave Boatman a straight draw, but Ye held on through the 9♦ river to double up.
