Boat Don't Lie

Steve Wilkie leads out for 2,000 on a 3♦️ K♣️ 2♦️ flop and is raised to 7,000 by Andreas Ramadanis. Gary Minor makes the call, and Wilkie comes along.

Wilkie check the K♥️ turn, Ramadanis shoves, Minor snap-calls and Wilkie gets out of the way.

Minor - A♦️ K♠️ for trip kings
Ramadanis - 2♣️  2♠️ for a boat

The Q♦️ river eliminates Minor and draws a frustrated gasp from Wilkie who says he would have hit his flush.

"Doesn't matter, I had a boat," says Ramadanis as he rakes in the chips and moves to the top of the leaderboard.

Andreas Ramadanis - 59,000
