Mike Leah opened to 2,200 from early position and Scott Blumstein called from the big blind. The flop came 9h7c6s Blumstein led 7,000, Leah three-bet to 12,600 and Blumstein called.

The 2d hit the turn, Blumstein bet and Leah put out a stack of 5,000 chips enough to cover his opponent. Blumstein thought about it four minutes into the break and decided to fold.

“You’re lucky Joe [McKeehen] was standing behind me or I would have called, he saved you”

Mike Leah  –  86,500
Scott Blumstein  –  40,000
