Ouch for Blatt, Yay for Brett

We arrived at the table just as the player in the hijack raised it to 1,300. Dean Blatt then came over the top with a bet of 2,900 from the button. Brett Unkovich was in the small blind, directly on Blatt’s left, and four bet to 6,600 which was enough to force the original raiser out.

Blatt then moved all in for 34,500 which had Unkovich well covered.

Unkovich tanked for a long time before, seemingly reluctantly, calling for his tournament life.

Blatt:
Unkovich:

Blatt was in great shape to take down the monster pot and eliminate Unkovich from the tournament. The poker gods had other ideas, however, as the board ran out to see Unkovich spike the unlikely king to snatch the double.
