Floor Needed; Bleznick Gets Paid
Level 2
: 200/400, 0 ante
Stud Hi-Lo
Jared Bleznick: /
/
Opponent: /
/
On sixth street, the floor was called for a ruling in a hand involving Jared Bleznick. Bleznick was heads-up, and his opponent checked. Bleznick had flicked his T-1,000 chip that was already in the pot from a previous street's action forward, attempting to make a bet. His opponent and the majority of his tablemates disagreed, saying it was most definitely a check. Bleznick had not added any more value to the pot, as the 1,200 currently sitting in front of both players represented bets from the previous streets.
The floor heard both points of view and ruled in favor of Bleznick's action being a check.
Seventh street was dealt, and after a short time in the tank, Bleznick's bet was check-called.
Bleznick tabled 
for a flush and a sixty-five low, scooping the pot as his opponent mucked.
