Blumenthal Plays AA Tricky

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Eddie Blumenthal held AA in a big pot.
Eddie Blumenthal held AA in a big pot.

Eddie Blumenthal opened to 450 in early position, and the cutoff called before the small blind three-bet to 2,600. Blumenthal made the call, and the cutoff folded.

The small blind bet 4,500 on the {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop, and Blumenthal called. The small blind then check-called 3,700 on the {9-Spades} turn, and an {8-Spades} hit the river. The small blind checked again, and Blumenthal put him all in for his last 9,000 or so. After thinking it over for about a minute, the small blind announced a call.

Blumenthal turned over the "weapons of mass destruction," as Mike Sexton is fond of calling them: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The small blind tossed his cards to the muck and told Blumenthal "nice hand."
