Boutboul Scores an Early Knockout

Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation, Bernard Boutboul had opened to 25,000 and called a shove from Mert Tozlu who had roughly 350,000 and was covered.
Mert Tozlu: A?J?
Bernard Boutboul: A?K?
Boutboul was ahead with the bigger ace and remained so on the 10?4?3?5?8? runout to score to take down a nice early pot and send Tozlu to the rail.
