Neil Blumenfield

Andrew Barfield opened the action from middle position and Neil Blumenfield shipped for 270,000 from the small blind. Shannon Shorr folded his big blind and Barfield took a minute to make a decision.

“I’m going to do you a favor Neil,” Barfield said before he called.

Blumenfield: AdTh
Barfield: KsJs

Blumenfield was ahead but had some live cards to dodge. The 6h5c3s flop was safe, he paired the As turn, but now he had to sweat the spades. The Th river finished the board and Blumenfield found a needed double.

Neil Blumenfield – 590,000 (24 bb)
Andrew Barfield – 660,000 (26 bb)
