Blankenship Wins a Big One Before Break

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
David Blankenship
David Blankenship

Action folded to the hijack, who open-limped. David Blankenship raised to 1,600 in the cutoff and received calls from all three players behind as well as the hijack, taking postflop action five ways.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and the small blind checked. The big blind shoved for 5,600 and the hijack called after some deliberation.

"I'm all in," said Blankenship, putting out 5,600 and then announcing he had 19,600 more. The player on the button folded and then the small blind re-jammed as well, covering the hijack and forcing him out of the pot to bring about a three-way all-in situation.

Big Blind: {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
David Blankenship: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Small Blind: {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Blankenship's top pair needed to fade straight and flush draws to scoop both pots and did so with ease as the turn {7-Clubs} and river {2-Diamonds} came to complete the runout.
