Battle of the Blinds

Action folded around to Mark Seif who was in the small blind. He opted to raise to 550 and was called by the player in the big blind, who had about 3,300 behind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} and Seif checked. The big blind bet 650 and Seif made the call. Both the {5-Hearts} on the turn and {4-Spades} on the river were checked.

Seif turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} but wasn't good against the big blind's {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The big blind took down the 2,400 pot while Seif took a 1,200 hit to his stack.
