Level 15 : 300/600, 100 ante
Scott Blumstein
Scott Blumstein

Table #401: Scott Blumstein raised to 1,500 from the cutoff and Royce Matheson was up next to act on the button. Matheson three-bet to 4,600. The blinds folded and Blumstein called.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Blumstein check-called the 4,000 bet of Matheson.

They both checked through the {8-Diamonds} on the turn to the {q-Hearts} on the river. Blumstein decided to bet 12,000. Matheson went through all the options in his head, confirmed the bet amount and cut out calling chips. He looked at the board again and then called.

Blumstein defeatedly showed {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a failed bluff and mucked. Matheson showed {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the rivered two pair of queens and fours and took the pot.
