Payman Paid

With the final minutes looming, the wonderfully named Kayvan Payman (I'm resisting the temptation to abbreviate to Kay-Pay) opened from the button to 2,100, only for Liv Boeree to three-bet from the big blind to 6,500. Payman just flat-called.
The flop was 
, and Boeree decided to maintain aggression by leading for 7,000. Again, Payman called, leaving himself around 25,000 behind.
On the 
turn, Boeree asked for a rough count, before holding up the white flag and tapping the felt, thus triggering a bet of 12,000 from Payman. Boeree quickly let it go and Payman took the pot.
"Gross," commented Boeree with a sigh.
"Did you have a hand?" asked another player.
"Yeah," she replied with her eyebrows raised.
Hand or no hand, Boeree is enduring a rather frustrating final level, and is now back below average with circa 40,000 in chips. Payman, meanwhile, has shot up to the 60,000 mark and looks set to end the day on a high.
