Ashton, Bleznick Out

Level 14
Jared Bleznick
Jared Bleznick

No-Limit Hold'em

Two more eliminations to report. Matthew Ashton has gone out in 40th place. And Jared Bleznick soon followed him to the rail in 39th.

In Bleznick's elimination hand, he had reraised all in with his last 31,000 from the hijack seat, then it folded to Abe Mosseri in the big blind. Mosseri didn't have much more than Bleznick, and so had to think just a beat before making the call.

Mosseri {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Bleznick {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Mosseri was behind, but after the five community cards came {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} he'd drawn a straight to knock out Bleznick.

Mosseri is still super short, though, with just 90,000.
