Blumstein Pays Off Messina
Level 30
: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Valentin Messina limped in from the small blind, and Scott Blumstein checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 
, and Messina checked. Blumstein bet 175,000, and Messina called. After the 
turn, Messina checked once more, and Blumstein bet 550,000. Messina's check-raise to 1,500,000 was met with another call, and the duo headed to the river. The 
completed the board, and Messina carefully cut out a bet worth 1,600,000. Blumstein gave it a half minute of consideration before calling.
Messina rolled over 
for a set of jacks, and as soon as Blumstein mucked, the Frenchman stood up from his chair and celebrated briefly toward the rail. A French flag is now displayed on said rail, and Messina chipped up nicely.
