Blind Raises Lead to Jannick Wrang-ling Some Chips

"All in and a call..." cried the dealer.

Those words are not announced often this early in a tournament and when it does happen, there's a flurry of interest in what is happening.

What had occurred was this; on table 79 the player UTG had blind min-raised and the UTG+1, Danish player Jannick Wrang, had blind min-reraised while being lucky enough to pick up {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}.

With another player in late position picking up {Q-?} {Q-?}, the two took a flop heads-up. The pot was sizeable enough that both players got their remaining chips in on a {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {4-Spades} board.

Wrang's aces held on the {3-Clubs} turn and {5-Hearts} river, which bumped him to a stack of about 60,000.

We are not sure how much more blind raising he will be doing from now on though.
