Some Blinds Battle, Some Do Not
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Richard Chevalier and Timothy Holt were heads up in the blinds with the flop reading J♣10♦7♣. Chevalier led out with a bet of 16,000 and Holt raised to 35,000. Chevalier called and the 4♥ landed on the turn.
Chevalier checked this time and Holt threw in a small bet of 15,000. Chevalier called and the 3♣ hit the river. Chevalier checked once more and Holt reached for a bet, which prompted a quick fold from Chevalier.
At an adjacent table, the action folded to David Eldridge in the small blind who shoved all in as the bigger stack. Christopher Usude was in the big blind with a stack of 86,000 and went into the tank. The clock was called and as the time was counted down, Usude folded his Q♥Q♦ face up.
