Boatman Remains Ahead
Barny Boatman opened to 800,000 from the button with A?2? and folded out David Kaufmann and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the blinds.
Kaufmann folded on the button before Ponakovs limped in from the small blind with K?4?. Boatman checked his option with J?9?. Ponakovs, with a pair of kings, continued for 400,000 on the A?K?Q? flop before Boatman raised to 1,000,000 with his gutshot. Ponakovs called. The 4? turn improved Ponakovs to two pair and action checked through to the 7? river. Ponakovs fired out 2,500,000, and Boatman released his jack-high after some posturing.
On the final hand before the break, Boatman accidentally raised out of turn to 1,200,000 from the small blind with 5?2?. Ponakovs looked down at 7?7? and limped in from the button, meaning Boatman's raise stood. Ponakovs called and then folded the best hand after facing a bet of 1,300,000 on the A?J?5? flop.
