Level 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
We spotted a table full of players standing up and sorting through the wreckage of a three way all-in confrontation. One opponent had his 
laid out in front of him, while another had tabled 
. Blankenship's 
appeared to have him bad shape, but when the dealer spread a final board of 
across the felt, his set of nines was good for a triple-up.
Blankenship eliminated one opponent on the hand and crippled another, while boosting his stack to nearly 8,500 chips. Like many of his fellow seniors, Blankenship was a bit taken aback with the idea of being reported on, saying simply "Shoot, this is my first day here" when asked for his thoughts on the hand.
