Battle of the Blinds

Josh Ewing and Caio Pimenta are two of the more accomplished players left in this field, and we just picked up action between them in a battle of the blinds.

It was Ewing in the small, and he started the action with a limp for the minimum 8,000. Pimenta decided a raise was in order, and he made it 22,000 to go. But Ewing came right back with a reraise to 66,000, but there was one more raise still to come. Pimenta announced it, then firmly slid out 129,000 total, drawing a long pause from Ewing.

The young American had about 305,000 chips left in front of him as he pondered, and he eventually decided a fold was the proper play. He flashed the {A-Spades} and mucked, and Pimenta quietly dragged the pot to move back close to where he began the day.
