Bleznick Rivers the Gin Card
Level 21
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jared Bleznick opened to 325,000 in the cutoff with K♥10♥ and Paulius Vaitiekunas defended from the big blind with Q♥8♣. The flop came J♣9♥3♣ and Vaitiekunas checked to Bleznick who continued with a bet of 350,000. Vaitiekunas check-raised to 850,000 and Bleznick called.
The turn brought the 6♠ and Vaitiekunas led out with a bet of 550,000. Bleznick still called and the Q♠ completed the board. Vaitiekunas checked after making top pair and Bleznick shoved all in for 2,280,000 with the nuts. Vaitiekunas went into the tank for a minute and then called.
Bleznick scooped the pot for a double up while Vaitiekunas fell to the short stack at the table.
