Balthasar Takes a Pot from Blasko
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Rene Balthasar made it 1,200 from the hijack and Urmo Velvelt called on the button. Marek Blasko squeezed it up to 7,300 from the small blind, which was only called by Balthasar.
Blasko placed out a bet of 3,000 upon seeing the dealer fan out the 4♦K♦Q♣ flop. Balthasar put in the call.
A 4♣ came on the turn and Blasko bet again, this time for 5,000. Once again, Balthasar just called.
The 3♦ hit the river and Blasko opted to bet 1,000. Balthasar immediately called and Blasko showed 5♥3♥ for a pair of treys. Balthasar had that beat with 9♣9♦ and the pot went over to him.
