Blumenfield Plays It Tricky

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Neil Blumenfield was sat in the big blind, with just 8,525 chips left. There had been a 1,000 open and a three-bet on the button to 3,000 by the time the action came to him and he decided to call. Back to the initial raiser and he four-bet to 14,000, which folded out the button and Blumenfield couldn't get the rest of his chips in quick enough.

Neil Blumenfield: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Blumenfield was the huge favorite as they went heads up to the flop. It came {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and Blumenfield couldn't lose the hand and would only chop with running broadway cards. The {3-Diamonds} turn locked it up and the {9-Diamonds} didn't matter. That gets him more than a double and puts him back over 40 big blinds.
