Blumenfeld Finds Some Heat
A player opened to 5,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position. Action then folded around to Scott Blumenfeld in the small blind, who moved all in. The initial raiser folded while the middle position player called with the covering stack to put Blumenfeld at risk.
Scott Blumenfeld: 
Middle Position Player: 
Blumenfeld was locked in a race, one that he would need to win in order to survive. The 
flop kept him ahead, with the 
turn changing nothing. The river bricked out 
to secure the double for Blumenfeld.
The very next hand saw Blumenfeld open to 7,000 on the button. The big blind defended to send the two players to the flop.
Action checked through the 
flop to the turn where the big blind checked once more. Blumenfeld fired off a delayed continuation of 8,000 which was called by his opponent.
The 
river saw both players check with Blumenfeld showing down 
, good enough to take down the pot.
