One for Bleznick, One for Macchia

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Macchia opened to 20,000 from under the gun and was called by Vinny Lingham to his left and Mikita Badziakouski in the cutoff. Jared Bleznick on the button moved all-in for 314,000 and made Macchia and Lingham fold, but Badziakouski asked for a count. He ended up folding as well.

In the next hand, Badziakouski opened to 20,000 and was called by Ramiro Salinas and Michael Macchia, both in the blinds.

All three of them checked a flop of Q4J leading to the A turn. Salinas checked but Macchia bet 30,000. This bet was only called by Badziakouski.

Macchia fired a second barrel to 75,000 on the 5 turn but Badziakouski folded.
