Blanovsky Struggling

It's not looking promising for Michael Blanovsky, who has slipped to less than 1.4 million and is just praying that he either scores a double-up soon or gets saved by the bell.

Earlier, Blanovsky raised to 200,000 and Arkadiy Tsinis called before check-calling Blanovsky's bet of 225,000 after the flop of {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Both players then checked the turn of the of the {J-Spades} before Tsinis fired out 500,000 on the river of the {K-Diamonds}. Blanovsky mucked his hand.

A while later, Blanovsky raised from the button again to 200,000 and Tsinis called before they both checked the flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and the turn of the {6-Hearts} before leading out for 150,000 on the river of the {J-Clubs}. Tsinis then mucked after Blanovsky raised to 550,000.

Some time passed before again, Blanovsky came in with the min-raise of 200,000 from the button and Tsinis called before they both checked the flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Tsinis led out for 200,000 after the turn of the {5-Spades} and Blanovsky called, only to fold after Tsinis fired out 500,000 on the river of the {A-Hearts}.

"You probably had me," Blanovsky sighed, flashing the {7-Clubs} as he folded.
