Bloom Forces Out Pienaar on the River
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Keenan Pienaar opened to 115,000 in the hijack with the A♠9♠ and Sean Bloom came along in the big blind with the 7♥5♠. The J♥6♣3♦ flop was checked by Bloom and Pienaar bet 65,000 for Bloom to call.
Both checked the A♥ on the turn and Bloom jammed for 375,000 effective on the J♦ river after he missed his gutshot straight draw. Pienaar used two time bank extensions before sigh-folding.
