Dermot Blain All-In 5 Times in a Row

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Dermot Blain
Dermot Blain

ONE:

Dermot Blain opened for 2,500 and was raised by Luke Grant. Blain responded by shoving all-in and the triangle was tossed to him. Grant called and showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Blain was in a world of hurt with {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}. A 27,900 dent to Blain’s stack left him with 4,500.

TWO:

Blain was all-in for his last 4,500 next hand. Timothy Chung called and the blinds thought better of it and folded. Chung had {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} against Blain’s {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The cards fell {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Blain won that one to grow his stack to 12,400.

THREE:

Blain shipped it in for the entire 12,400. No callers this time as he added the precious blinds and antes to his stack.

FOUR:

Blain announced all-in and was called by William Colin in the small blind. The big blind folded. Blain had him just covered so was not at risk this time. Colin tabled {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} against Blain’s {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. “Pretty hand right? I like that hand.” Blain said. The board ran out {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} giving the win to Colin. Blain was left with just 1,900.

FIVE:

Blain’s chips were in for the fifth time in a row. William Colin called, Tony Martin raised over the top all-in and Colin folded. Martin had {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} while Blain had {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The cards fell {8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Blain survived once again.

There would be no sixth in a row however as ambassador Blain folded in the big blind and then the small blind.
