Limit Hold'em

Jared Bleznick returned from dinner break as the tournament short stack with just 90,000. He managed to last only a couple of hands before falling at the hands of Phil Ivey.

Ivey opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and Jared Bleznick called in the big blind, leaving himself just 30,000 behind.

The rest of the chips got in the middle after the flop came J♦J♣A♦.

Jared Bleznick: 10♦6♠ All in
Phil Ivey: K♦J♠

Bleznick was drawing dead as even runner-runner broadway would fill up Ivey. As it was, the board ran out 7♦3♦ to give Bleznick a flush but one that was lower than his opponent's to send him out just a couple of spots shy of the money.
