McEwen is the Boss of his Blinds
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
In the following two hands, Preston McEwen showed the table who is boss when he is in the blinds.
In the first hand, Jaehoon Baek limped in from the small blind, and McEwen checked his option. The board came with 3♣9♠A♦ and Baek checked, while McEwen put out 500,000. Baek made the call.
Both players checked the turn Q♦ and on the river K♠ McEwen threw out another 800,000 bet and Baek folded, much to the crowd's delight.
In the second hand, Cary Katz raised to 800,000 from the button and McEwen defended from the big blind. The flop came out with 2♦2♥8♦, and both players checked to the turn 6♥.
On the river 10♥, McEwen made his move and bet out 1,700,000. Katz bowed out with a fold, and the crowd roared again.
