Bleznick Takes Two

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

In a limped pot between the blinds, Jared Bleznick led out for 700,000 on a flop of A♠Q♠3♠ and Veselin Karakitukov called.

The turn was the 9♦ and Bleznick bet 1,000,000. Karakitukov used a time bank but eventually folded this time.

Lautaro Guerra then raised to 1,750,000 under the gun and Ben Tollerene called in the big blind.

Guerra continued for 1,300,000 on the K♣J♦J♣ flop and Tollerene quickly folded.

A few hands later, Tollerene limped in from the button, Guerra called in the small blind, and Bleznick checked his option.

Tollerene bet 500,000 on the A♣K♥10♦ flop and only Bleznick called. The Q♦ turn and 5♦ river were checked down and Bleznick showed 9♦6♦2♥2♠ for a flush to win the pot.

Level 27 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

In a limped pot between the blinds, Lautaro Guerra bet 800,000 on a flop of 10♥A♥J♠ and Ben Tollerene called.

The turn was the 5♠ and Guerra bet another 1,400,000. Tollerene folded this time and Guerra took the pot.

The next hand, Guerra raised to 2,400,000 in the small blind and Jared Bleznick called in the big blind.

The flop came 10♠K♠10♣ and Guerra potted to 5,600,000. Bleznick then moved all in and Guerra called for 6,350,000.

Lautaro Guerra: A♠Q♦8♠5♦ All in
Jared Bleznick: A♣K♦J♦4♠

Bleznick was ahead with two pair, while Guerra was chasing a flush draw. The 2♠ fell on the turn to give Guerra his flush as Bleznick slammed the table in frustration. The K♣ river wasn't enough for Bleznick and he was forced to hand over the double up.
