2024 EPT Paris Main Event winner Barny Boatman opened to 25,000 on the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Jack Sambrook three-bet to 65,000. Back to Boatman, then, who four-bet to 125,000, leaving himself with 40,000 behind. Sambrook forced his opponent all-in for 175,000 in total, and Boatman, naturally, made the call.
Jack Sambrook: Q♠Q♣
Barny Boatman: A♠J♠
Boatman was trailing. He picked up a straight draw on the Q♣K♣5♥, while Sambrook improved to a set. Boatman was left drawing dead on the K♦ turn; the A♣ river was dealt for ceremonial reasons. With his full house, Sambrook eliminated Boatman in forty-third place for €1,000.
Jack Sambrook: 1,180,000
Barny Boatman: 0
