Meanwhile, at another table, Jared Bleznick raised to 3,500 under the gun in a game of pot-limit Omaha before the cards were dealt. It folded to Josh Arieh in the big blind, who called.

Bleznick bet 2,000 on the A♦A♥7♥ flop, and Arieh quickly check-folded. Bleznick tabled J♥J♣ while he raked in the chips.
