Blatt Doubles With Quads
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chris Cannon opened to 20,000 on the button and it was folded to Dean Blatt, who shoved for 170,000 total from the big blind. Cannon snap-called to put Cannon at risk, which got a "Uh oh," from Blatt.
Dean Blatt: K♣J♣
Chris Cannon: Q♠Q♦
Blatt was in touble, but found immediate help on the K♠J♠K♥ flop — vaulting him into a near insurmountable lead.
The K♦ turn further improved Blatt to quad kings, and an irrelevant 5♦ made his double up official.
