Bleznick Picks Off a Big Bluff
Level 18
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 8?3?2?2? and about 550,000 in the middle, Johannes Straver checked from the big blind and Jared Bleznick bet 225,000 from the hijack. Straver made the call.
On the 9? turn Straver led out with a bet of 325,000 sending Bleznick deep into the tank.
Bleznick went through several time banks as he weighed his options.
"I play too much PLO" Bleznick commented before flicking in the call. Straver could only show 10?8? for eights and twos while Bleznick showed down the nut-flush with A?6? to take a sizable pot from Straver.
