Event 24: Neil Blumenfield Gets Lucky

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 15: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante
Players: 126 of 828 players remaining

A player in the cutoff moved all in for 43,500 and action folded to Neil Blumenfield, who if you recall finished third in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event.

“It’s close,” Blumenfield said before getting an exact count. He then put in the chips to make the call.

Blumenfield: KhQd
Opponent: AcKd

“That not what I wanted to see,” Blumenfield said. Indeed, he was dominated, but not after the flop came down 8h6hQs to pair him.

“So sick,” said his frustrated opponent before watching the 2h appear on the turn followed by the 8d river. “So sick.”

Neil Blumenfield – 200,000
