Enols are tautomers of ketones (or aldehydes.)
I think it depends on what you remove the borane with. For example, when the borane complex attacks the alkyne, it can be removed with acetic acid to produce a cis alkene. If you remove the borane with H2O2, then you get anti-mark addition of a vinyl alcohol which tautomerizes to a ketone (aldehyde on terminal alkynes.)
