Blaine Avoids Showdown in Five-Way Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
A player from under the gun bet 700 and received calls from players in early position, the hijack, the button and Dermot Blain in the big blind.
The flop came 8♣2♠4♥ and Blain took the initiative with a bet of 2,200, folding out all of his opponents except one in the hijack.
Blain fired again for 8,200 on the K♠ turn and was called by his one remaining opponent.
On the 9♦ river Blain barreled again for 10,000 and managed to get a fold from his one remaining opponent, taking down a nice pot in the process.
