Blumenthal Triples, Chow Busto

[user75032]

Ira Blumenthal's been trying to leave this tournament for two days. The thing is, every time he gets his chips in the middle he doubles up. On one of the first hands of the day, Blumenthal wound up in a three-way all in with the worst hand. His {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

trailed Jojo Tech's pocket tens and short-stacked Robert Chow's pocket deuces. But the board rolled out {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

to give Blumenthal the straight. He dragged both the main pot and the side pot to triple up to about 90,000.

Chow was eliminated in 40th place.
