Ross Boatman raises to 7,000 in middle position and Billy Johnston three-bets to 18,500 in the cutoff.

"Are you on a  rush?" Boatman says referring to the fact that this was Johnston’s second consecutive three-bet.

Johnston smiles and Boatman makes the call. The dealer shows the pair a flop of [Js] [5c] [4d] and they both check. The turn card is the [4s] and Boatman leads for 19,000 and Johnston mucks his hand.

Boatman ~ 120,000
Johnston ~ 50,000
