Big Stax 500 (Day 2): Blumstein Sends Boyko Into Orbit

Level 17 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 925
Players Remaining: 153

The first level of the day is in the books, and players are now posting blinds of 3,000/6,000/1,000 in Level 17.  In one of the final hands of break, Scott Blumstein shipped into Robert Boyko on a flop of K♠ Q♠ 2♠.  Boyko would have Scott covered, and he quickly made the call:

Boyko: A♣ A♦         Blumstein: 9♦ 9♠

Turn: 8♣

River: 7♠

Blumstein hit his spade on the river to make a flush and steal the pot away from Boyko, doubling up to 370,000.  Robert would be left with 30,000 after absorbing the loss, and he followed with some very choice words Blumstein's way.  The tirade did not stop until Boyko got eliminated a few hands later, join these others on the rail:
