Blind Hand Goes Awry for Bolger
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
After just scooping a pot, Malcolm Bolger decided to play the next hand blind from early position, finding himself tangled with Zhivko Yovchev on the button and the big blind.
On the 9♠7♠6♦ flop, it checked to Yovchev who bet 7,000. At this point, Bolger decided to peek at his cards, and he announced all in as the covering stack, and Yovchev quickly called off his roughly 19,000 stack.
Zhivko Yovchev: 7♥6♥
Malcolm Bolger: K♠3♠
Yovchev flopped two pair with the six-seven, while Bolger had a flush draw. The J♦ turn kept Yovchev in the lead, and Bolger could not find a spade on the 4♦ river, sending doubling chips in the direction of Yovchev.
