Fujie Doubles Through Blumenthal
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Eddie Blumenthal kicked the action off with a raise to 2,500 from middle position. A couple of seats to his left, Toru Fujie responded with a three-bet to 8,000. Action then returned to Blumenthal, who didn't take much time before moving all in, having his opponents stack well covered. Fujie made the call, and the players put the cards on their backs.
Toru Fujie: A♠K♥ 
Eddie Blumenthal: J♥J♦
The dealer burned and turned, bringing a 9♣8♥2♠ flop, keeping Blumenthal's lead intact.
When the turn brought the 9♠, Fujie had one foot out the door. However, the river K♠ saw him take the lead and settle back into his seat with twice as many chips.
