Blixtkrieg

Level 9 : 5,000/1,000, 100 ante

We heard a jubilant shout of celebration and the sound of a man clapping with excitement, and after heading over to sneak a peek at the scene, it turned out Steve Blixt had just binked on the river.

Blixt had committed much of his stack with preflop and flop wagers, and when an opponent shoved all in on the {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{9-Spades} board, he called off his last 8,000 or so with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Trailing badly against {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Blixt stood to sweat the river card, and when fifth street brought a tournament-saving {10-Spades} to the board, the aforementioned celebration began.
