Blumstein Hero Calls For Tournament Life
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action was relayed to PokerNews after the fact. Scott Blumstein limped from the hijack and the small blind completed. Phil Badiola checked his option in the big blind and the trio saw a flop of J?10?3?. All three players checked around and the 2? hit the turn.
The small blind checked again and Badiola bet 25,000, which only Blumstein came along. The 3? completed the board and Badiola moved all in, covering the 191,000 remaining for Blumstein, who went deep in the tank.
After much deliberation, Blumstein made the call and the hands were shown. Badiola tabled QxJx for a pair of jacks and Blumstein showed KxQx for the king-high hero call as he made his way to the payout desk.
