After some betting preflop, a player moved all in blind and Jared Bleznick announced a call. The flop came out Q♥5♥4♥ and the cards were tabled.
Opponent: 3♥3♦
Jared Bleznick: 6♦7♦
"Oh I'm in such bad shape," Bleznick admitted as his opponent was blocking his straight outs and had a flush draw with his pair.
None of these things mattered, however, as Bleznick is the best player in the room and the turn just peeled off the 8♦ to give him a straight. The river was the brick 5♣ to win him the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.
