Blumenthal Binks Two Pair to Double Up
Livello 20
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
Eddie Blumenthal: A♥5♥/2♣A♠3♠3♥/J♠
Andres Korn: XxXx/6♥ - folded third street
Bruno Fitoussi: Q♣J♥/Q♦2♠K♥10♣/8♠
Short stack Eddie Blumenthal brought it in before Andres Korn completed. Bruno Fitoussi stuck in a three-bet and Blumenthal raised. That was enough to force Korn out of the hand but Fitoussi made the call.
Fitoussi then went on to call Blumenthal's bets on fourth and fifth street, by which point Blumenthal was all-in. He had already made a pair of aces against the pair of queens of Fitoussi and improved to two pair on fifth street.
Sixth street saw Fitoussi get some extra outs in the form of an open-ended straight draw, but the eight on seventh street give him none, and Blumenthal overtook him in the counts.
