Blanovsky's Chips Blowing in the Wind

With the button in front of him, Michael Blanovsky opened for 275,000 and Arkadiy Tsinis made the call. The flop came {7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} and both players elected to see another card. The dealer turned the {4-Diamonds} and Tsinis led out for 350,000. This was enough to push Blanovsky off of his hand and the pot was shipped to Tsinis.

Shortly after that hand, Tsinis held the button and he limped into the pot. Blanovsky checked it and the flop fell {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Both players tapped the table and the {6-Clubs} arrived on the turn. Blanovsky tried a 150,000 bet and Tsinis released, giving the small pot to his opponent.
