Boyd Doubles

Craig Boyd raised to 25,000 to open the pot, and Rifat Palevic moved all in for 143,000. Boyd called with {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, poised to eliminate Palevic and his {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

Palevic, however, would flop lucky as the dealer spread out {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. The {6-Hearts} on the turn and the river {4-Hearts} improved him to the ace-high flush, notching a double up to 305,000. Boyd is under a million now, sitting with 960,000.
