Blumstein Lucky to Get Half

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Action was three ways on fourth street where a player checked, another bet and Blumstein called. On fifth street, the player who bet picked up the lead and he bet again. Blumstein called while the other player in the hand folded. The player bet again on sixth street and Blumstein called once more, then both players checked it down on seventh street.

Scott Blumstein: {x-}{x-}/{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}/{x-}
Opponent 1: {x-}{x-}/{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}/{x-}
Opponent 2: {x-}{x-}/{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} — Folded

After checking on seventh, Blumstein's opponent showed {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a eighty-seven low. Blumstein however was able to pick up half the pot with {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a pair of twos.

"Ah man," the player said. "I should've fired there. I usually do even if it's not +EV."

"This is so much fun," Blumstein said laughing after the hand.
