Trayner Widens the Gap

Dean Blatt raised to 400,000 on the button with J♠9♦ and Malcolm Trayner called in the big blind with J♣10♥.

Trayner checked to Blatt, who continued for 500,000 on the K♣6♣9♠ flop.

Trayner then check-raised to 1,300,000 with his gut shot and Blatt laid down the best hand after a bit of thought.

A couple of hands later, Blatt called from the small blind with Q♠4♦ and Trayner checked his option in the big blind with 9♠8♣.

Blatt check-called a 300,000 bet from Trayner on the 10♦J♣4♣ flop, but check-folded facing a 1,100,000 barrel from Trayner on the A♣ turn.
