Big Double for Boyko

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the three-way flop of {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Yuriy Boyko bet 600 out of the big blind and the player in under the gun called. On the button, John Macnair raised to 2,600 and Boyko called, the third player in the hand folded.

After the {8-Spades} turn, Boyko checked and Macnair bet 8,000. This sent Boyko in the think tank and Macnair was about to call the clock on his opponent when the all in announcement came from Boyko. Macnair quickly called and the cards were turned over.

Yuriy Boyko: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
John Macnair: {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs} on the river paired the board and Boyko doubled for 21,050, leaving his opponent very short. Macnair asked staff if he could enter again and that was confirmed - a single re-entry is allowed for this High Roller event.
