Blankenship Goes Set-Over-Set On Turn for Knockout

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
David Blankenship
David Blankenship

David Blankenship was in the process of stacking a pile of chips after securing an elimination. The recount of the action was as follows: he defended his small blind to an early-position open to 4,500. Stephen Zipprich came along out of the big blind as well and the flop came {q-}{5-}{3-}-rainbow.

Blankenship check-raised a continuation-bet of 5,500 to 15,000 and was called. The turn fell {8-Diamonds} and Blankenship bet 30,000. His opponent shoved for around 75,000 and he called.

David Blankenship: {8-}{8-}
Opponent: {5-}{5-}

Blankenship found himself one card away from delivering a cooler to his opponent, which he did as the river fell clean to secure the elimination and bring him back over 200,000 in chips nearing the end of the penultimate level of the evening.
