Big Stacks of Vaitikunas and Bleznick Battling
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Two of the biggest stacks in the tournament are seated right next to each other in the form of Paulius Vaitiekunas and Jared Bleznick, and they tangled in this hand.
Vaitiekunas limped from the small blind, and Bleznick raised to 325,000. Vaitiekunas called to take a flop.
The flop came A♦K♣9♣ and Bleznick bet 275,000 when action checked to him. Vaitiekunas threw in the call.
The turn was the 8♣, and Vaitiekunas checked again. Bleznick now bet 725,000. Vaitiekunas stuck around to see a river.
The river was the 7♦ and this time both players checked. Vaitiekunas tabled K♥8♥ and his two pair was good.
