Blumenthal Gets Paid
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
Eddie Blumenthal was in a three-way pot from the big blind on a K♥7♦8♣ flop. Blumenthal and another player in early position checked to the player in middle position, who bet 1,800. Only Blumenthal called.
Both players checked on the 8♠ turn and then Blumenthal led out for 4,000 on the 2♦ river. His opponent decided to look him up and Blumenthal tabled K♣4♦ for kings and eights. His opponent mucked and Blumenthal added to his stack.
