Blakeman Cracks Aces to Double Up

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After 16,300 went into the pot preflop, Benton Blakeman moved all in on the {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop from late position and got a caller in the cutoff, who had Blakeman covered.

Benton Blakeman: {5-}{5-}
Cutoff: {a-}{a-}

Blakeman was in good position with his flopped bottom pair putting him in the lead and in position to double his chip stack. The {3-Spades} turn and {7-Hearts} river changed nothing, and Blakeman scooped the pot.
