Blatt Closes the Gap
Dean Blatt limped on the button with A♣6♣ and called a raise to 1,200,000 from Malcolm Trayner in the big blind holding A♠K♥.
Trayner continued for 900,000 on the 2♣7♣7♦ flop and Blatt responded with a raise to 2,000,000 with his flush draw. Trayner called.
The 10♣ turn completed Blatt's flush and Trayner check-folded facing a 1,600,000 bet.
On the next hand, Trayner raised to 1,200,000 on the button with 8♦4♣ and Dean Blatt defended his big blind with J♥10♠.
Both players checked on the 10♣J♠2♦ flop and Blatt checked again after the 10♥ turn improved him to a full house. Trayner took a stab at the pot for 2,100,000 and Blatt just called.
The 2♥ completed the board and action checked through. Blatt showed his cards and further closed the gap.
