Blind Man's Bluff

According to tablemate Dominik Nitsche, Dimitris Lesnoy has been raising every hand blind, but the circus, as it were, has finally ended.

Lesnoy opened preflop with a minraise before Chino Rheem isolated to 4,000. Abou Saleh Elias then put in a cold four bet, at which point it's thought that Lesnoy did look at his hand and opted to flat-call, Rheem called as well to see a {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop.

We're unsure exactly how the action went but Lesnoy's remaining chips went in the middle and Rheem dwelt for ages before folding, Elias then snap-called and turned over {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Lesnoy, "I'm about 8%..." he said, having a real hand this time with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

There was no help from the {5-Clubs} turn or {7-Spades} river and Lesnoy was eliminated.
