David Shaw opened to 27,000 from under the gun and picked up calls from Michael Vela in the hijack and Thomas Boyden on the button. The flop came Th8h3d, Shaw checked, Vela bet 35,000 and only Boyden came along.

The turn was 6h, Vela bet another 45,000 and Boyden called. The Qd prompted a check from Vela and Boyden thought for a minute before announcing “all in”. Vela took his time, Boyden would be at risk for ~235,000 but Vela opted to fold.

Thomas Boyden – 475,000 (40 bb)
Michael Vela – 460,000 (38 bb)
