Boatman Downs Ferrer and Frustrates Volkov
Roman Volkov opened to 2,500 from early position and was called by Carles Ferrer from the cutoff. Barny Boatman three-bet to 8,000 from the button and was called by both opponents.
Action checked to the PokerStars ambassador on the 9♠8♦2♦ flop, and Boatman fired out 8,000. Volkov made it 18,000 before Ferrer moved all in for 18,200. Boatman reraised to 43,200 and after some thinking, Volkov called.
The K♠ turn saw Volkov check. Boatman moved all in as the slightly bigger stack. Volkov had around 45,000 behind and went deep into the tank before open-folding his 10♦9♦. With that, Ferrer and Boatman tabled their cards.
Carles Ferrer: 10♣9♣
Barny Boatman: A♣K♦
Boatman was ahead with top pair, top kicker and sealed the pot after the 4♦ river.
Volkov fumed when he saw that his flush draw came in and began questioning Boatman's play.
"I have my reasons," replied Boatman, who continued to hear Volkov's frustrations long after the hand had finished.
