Blumenthal Wakes Up with Aces and Drops Opponent
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
John Schroeder raised to 23,000 from the cutoff only to have the small blind three-bet jam for 120,000 and Eddie Blumenthal came over the top for roughly 145,000.
Action was back on Schroder who mucked his hand, and the two players tabled their hands.
Opponent: 
Eddie Blumenthal: 
Blumenthal was way ahead and improved after an ace appeared in the window on the 
flop.
The 
turn did give Blumenthal a sweat as it gave his opponent the wheel draw but the 
paired the board on the river and secured him the elimination.
