Bichon Takes One Down

Barny Boatman (big blind) and Thomas Bichon (middle position) reached - although I think it's safe to assume that Bichon raised preflop and Boatman defended - a {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop where Boatman check-raised the Frenchman's continuation bet of 1,000 to 3,400. After a brief dwell, Boatman made the call.

The turn came the {5-Clubs}, and after Boatman had checked, Bichon fired out a bet of 9,000. This time, and despite a look of temptation in his eyes, Boatman relinquished his hand.

Bichon can now raise his bat in the air and bask in the applause of the gallery; he's now reached his half century (well, sort of) in chips.
