Tyler Boyer
Tyler Boyer
Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action folded to Tri Van in the hijack, and he raised to 600. He was called by both the small blind Boris Kravets, and the big blind Zhenjie Hou.

After the Q♥6♦7♠ flop, it checked to Van who bet out 400, and both Kravets and Hou quickly called.

The turn brought the 4♦ and after Kravets checked, Hou led out for a bet of 1,600. Van called, and Kravets folded to leave the players heads up.

After the 2♥ on the river, Hou bet again, this time for 4,200. Van wasted little time and tossed his hand in the muck, to give the pot to Hou.

The turn 2♥ hit the felt and Machen fired 4,400. Once again his opponent flicked in a chip for a call.

Machen asked for 11,000 of the small blind's chips on the 6♦ river but his opponent released his hand back to the dealer.
