Blumstein Bombs The River
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Scott Blumstein opened to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by the player in the cutoff, Shuyih Ng in the small blind, and Masaya Hayami in the big blind.
Action checked to the cutoff on the 5♦10♥A♥ flop and he bet 9,000. Only Blumstein called.
Both players checked on the 9♠ turn and then Blumstein overbet for 51,000 when the 7♠ completed the board.
The cutoff called fairly quickly and Blumstein tabled A♦9♣ for two pair, which got a quick muck from his opponent.
