Battle of the Blinds

With the button and the small blind limping, big blind Kelly Samson bumped the pre-flop betting up to 20,000. The bet was enough for Adam Geyer to fold from the button, but provoked an all-in from small blind Ben Fineman. After going into the tank for awhile, Samson made the call, putting his tournament life at risk. Samson tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} as he saw he was up against the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} of Fineman. The flop brought an ace in the door as is came {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, enough to give Samson the lead in the hand. The turn and river were {10-Spades}{9-Spades} respectively, and Samson doubled up.
