Boyd is in Dutch

Dutch Boyd just became involved in a big pot, no more than a half hour after taking his seat. He and another player, Gabriel Alarie, saw a flop of {2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, and were heads up to the turn.

Fourth street fell the {K-Spades}, and Boyd made a small bet. Alarie raised it up, and Boyd made the call.

The river brought the {8-Spades}, and Boyd checked to the raiser. Alarie bet out 800 chips, and Boyd went into the tank for several minutes, slowly shuffling his chips and staring down at the felt in front of him. Finally, he made his play, pushing his remaining 2,550 chips into the pot, which Alarie quickly called.

Boyd showed {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flush, but was over-flushed by his opponent who tabled {J-Spades}{6-Spades}.

On his way out, Boyd made the walk around the table to shake Alarie's hand, and even handed over his bandana as a bounty.
