Blumenthal Gets Short
Level 19
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Calvin Anderson: XxXx/2♣ - folded third street
Eddie Blumenthal: XxXx/8♣J♥5♣4♠/Xx
Maximilian Schindler: XxXx/6♦3♦3♠4♦/Xx
Calvin Anderson was the bring-in and Eddie Blumenthal completed from the next seat over. Maximilian Schindler then made it two bets to go and only Blumenthal called.
On fourth street, Blumenthal check-called a bet from Schindler before the latter led with a bet on every street thereafter. Blumenthal called all the way, lamenting on seventh street that he had to pay Schindler off "again."
Schindler then excitedly showed A♦7♥5♠ for a seven-high straight and a six-low. Schindler shook his head and mucked his hand, forfeiting the pot to Blumenthal, who is back to playing well over a million.
