Blakeman Takes Another One

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After an initial open got a few callers, the big blind three bet to 3,500. He got three callers, including Benton Blakeman in late position.

The table watched the {10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop hit the table. Action checked to the early position player, who fired for 7,500. Blakeman called while the others got out of the way.

On the {q-Hearts} turn, the early position player continued by putting in 12,000. Blakeman again called. The {9-Spades} river completed the board, putting a gutshot on the felt. The early position player slowed down and checked over to Blakeman, who sized up a bet of 26,500 and tossed it in. The opponent tanked for a bit, counting his chips while doing so, before making the laydown to give Blakeman the pot without a showdown.
