Boi Finds a Miraculous Runout to Double on First Hand
Nível 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Paolo Boi put in all his chips on the very first hand of the final table. He was in middle position and made the bet of 1,670,000. Walter Ripper awaited in the small blind and made the call to put Boi at risk.
Paolo Boi: K♣Q♣
Walter Ripper: K♥K♠
Boi was absolutely crushed, but the flop of 6♠A♣J♥ brought some relief. With a gutshot straight draw in his pocket, he went to the turn, which came the Q♦. Broadway would now be a chop, but he still had outs to scoop if a queen came on the river.
The river was precisely one of those queens, as the Q♥ appeared as the final card. The railbirds went wild as the Italian player scored a big double-up. Ripper, on the other hand, was left with less than five big blinds.
