Big Stax 300 (Day 2): Sick Call

Level 18 - Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000 (Chip Average - 425,000)

Mike Boylan

We walked over to Table 65, as Mike Boylan was faced with an all-in from Robert Pierce for just under 365,000 on a flop of K 5 9 (rainbow).  There was about 40,000 in the pot at the time, and Boylan took some time thinking and cutting out his chips, before announcing a call.  Pierce turned over A Q, and Boylan then stood up and tabled K Q.  Pierce went from three outs to seven after a ten came on the turn, but when the ten paired the river it would be Boylan's pot to scoop.  Boylan is now just under 1,000,000 and put himself in the top five stacks in the room.
