Blaszkiewizz knocks out a player

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We caught the action on the turn with 1,500 in the pot and the board reading {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Facing a bet of 700, Blaszkiewizz raised to 1,500, and his opponent thought for a minute before calling, leaving himself just 200 left. That last 200 got in on the river, the {5-Spades}, and Blaszkiewizz showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a flopped set, and his opponent was eliminated.
