Boatman Reels In a Double on the Turn
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Barny Boatman who limped in from the small blind. Dario Alioto then raised to 100,000, Boatman three-bet to 300,000, and Alioto called.
Boatman moved all in for 270,000 on the J♦3♥5♣ flop and Alioto called to put him at risk.
Barny Boatman: A♦K♣Q♦10♣
Dario Alioto: 8♥8♦7♠5♥
Alioto was ahead with his pair of eights, but Boatman spiked the K♦ on the turn to move in front. The river came the 2♥ and Boatman doubled up.
