It's All Hunky-Dorey for Blain

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Dermot Blain has been all in for his tournament life several times today but he's just won a big pot to him ticking along. Blain opened to 1,600 from the cutoff before Anaras Alekberovas made it 4,000 from the small blind. William Ranulf Dorey then cold four-bet in the big blind to 7,600 and Blain shoved for around 25,000 in total.

The Lithuanian quickly folded and Dorey made the call.

Blain: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Dorey: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Blain leaped above the 50,000 mark.
