"February $50,000" (Day 2): Kevin Boyle Eliminated ($1,885) In Largest Pot Of Tournament

"February $50,000"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 216
Players Remaining: 5


Kevin Boyle (West Palm Beach, FL) had been fairly quiet for most of the final table, but just got involved in the largest pot of the day.

After close to a full level without significant action, we just witnessed the largest pot of the tournament.  The action started with Jonathan Speranza opening to 120,000, which was followed by Kevin Boyle (West Palm Beach, FL) three-bet shoving for close to 700,000.  Players quickly folded behind, with Speranza then going deep in the tank.  "Whatever...I like to gamble," Speranza said, before announcing the call, and turning over A K♣.  Jonathan was ahead of Kevin's A♠ Q, but the 2 5 5 Q♠ runout would leave Speranza looking for one of three kings remaining.  That's exactly what fell on the river, and Jonathan screamed loudly when the K hit the felt.  "Justice," he yelled, shaking Boyle's hand before he left the table.
