Blit Finds a Way to Get There
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jacques Blit limped in from the small blind with K♣3♥ and Erik Marasco checked his option holding J♥2♥. The flop fell J♠5♠2♦ and both players checked to the 4♥ on the turn.
Blit checked again and Marasco finally made a bet of 50,000 with two pair. Blit turned his straight draw into a bluff with a raise to 155,000. Marasco just called and the A♥ peeled off on the river.
Blit led out with a bet of 225,000 after making a straight and Marasco instantly threw his time banks into the middle. Marasco eventually made the call only to see the bad news as half of his stack disappeared.
