PartyPoker Tour regular James Grogan opened to 7,000 from the Cut-off. PartyPoker Tour Ambassador/poker legend Barny Boatman made the call from the Small Blind.

Boatman check-called 10,000 from Grogan on the KJ6 flop. Both players checked the 7 turn, and Boatman then checked for a third time on the 10 river. Grogan bet another 10,000 and was then faced with a 60,000 raise from Boatman. After spending a minute in the tank, Grogan made the call.

Barny Boatman: 99
James Grogan: J10

Boatman’s bluff didn’t work, and the bigger chunk of his stack went to Grogan.

James Grogan: 320,000
Barny Boatman: 17,000
