The flop was and action checked around to the on the turn. There, Boatman led out with a bet of 7,500 which both Galfond and Yockey called.

On the river, Boatman slowed down with a check. Yockey then put out a bet of 17,500 and Galfond folded. Boatman mulled it over a while too then folded as well, allowing the defending champion of this event to take down the pot and chip up to nearly 150,000.
