Blackwood Puts Connolly in Blender
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Picking up the action on a flop of K♠6♥3♥ and with 17,500 already in the middle, Gary Blackwood put out a bet of 5,000 from the big blind and was called by Jason Connolly in middle position.
On the 2♦ turn Blackwood continued with his aggressive line, firing out a bet of 8,500, which was called by Connolly.
On the 9♠ river Blackwood emptied the clip, moving all in for 29,000. Connolly, who had slightly more than Blackwood, looked pained and went into the tank.
Connolly pondered his decision for a considerable period of time, prompting the clock to be called by a player at the table. Before the countdown started Connolly mucked his hand, sending the pot to Blackwood.
