button in SafariRiver Fortune for Bland
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player from the hijack opened to 8,000 before Anthony Bland went all-in for 31,000 on the button. The big blind also went all-in, which led to a fold from the hijack as Bland was all-in and at risk against the big blind.
Anthony Bland: A♦8♥
Opponent: A♣K♦
"I guess I picked the wrong time," said Bland after he saw the cards.
The 4♦3♦3♠ flop gave Bland hope for a chop, but he was still in search of help to stay alive in the tournament.
Bland would stay behind on the 6♣ turn, but just as he started to get up from the table, the river gave him a reason to sit back down as he spiked the 8♠ to secure the double.
