Blumenthal Busts Raso
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Evan Raso was under the gun and raised pot, which was met by a pot-sized three-bet from Eddie Blumenthal in middle position. The rest of the field folded and Raso got all in for 87,000 total.
Blumenthal: 
Raso: 
Both players flopped the nuts on the 
flop, but Blumenthal was blessed with the flush redraw. Wouldn't you know it, that flush hit when the dealer burned and turned the 
. Raso needed either an ace or jack on the river to boat up, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
peeled off.
Raso was eliminated in 26th place and will take home $8,435.
