Boeken Still Battling

Mike Patrick

Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Dutch crusher Noah Boeken is still alive in the event and may still be so because of a recent big fold.

The board read A♦J♣J♥10♦7♠ with about 120,000 in the middle and Boeken checked to Fernando Valverde in late position.

Valverde moved all in for about the size of the pot, putting Boeken to a decision, as he had 200,000 behind.

Boeken thought for about a minute but elected to preserve his chips, sending the pot to Valverde.
