Boivin Stays Alive with Pay Jump in Sight
Nível 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thomas Boivin raised to 24,000 leaving himself 5,000 behind. Denys Shafikov announced raise, and then tried to put 48,000 in front. The dealer ruled that it would be a min-raise and 40,000 was put in front of him.
The big blind used all of his shot clock before folding, perhaps as a gesture of kindness to Boivin with the tournament two eliminations off of a pay jump.
"I don't plan on busting so..." said Boivin, gesturing to his final time extension. Still, he used his entire shot clock before calling.
Thomas Boivin: 
Denys Shafikov: 
The board ran out 
with two pair good enough for Boivin to double up and stay alive.
