Blili Folds to a Jam

Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Otto Delahaye kicked things off with a raise to 2,600 from the cutoff and and was called by Eric Apikan from the button. Ahmed Blili made it 11,500 from the small blind. Otto Delahaye wasted little time in moving all in for 54,600. Apikan quickly folded.

Blili asked for a count, and pondered his options. If he were to call and lose, he would still have an above average stack. In the end, he decided to pass and Otto Delahaye chipped up.
