Blumenthal Quartered by Zektser
Level 17
: Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Igor Zektser raised in the hijack and Eddie Blumenthal made the call in the small blind.
Blumenthal checked the 6♣J♥4♠ flop and called when Zektser continued with a bet. The action repeated after the 5♣ turn and 8♥ river, with Blumenthal check-calling both streets.
Zektser turned over A♦9♠7♥2♣ for the nut low and a straight, while Blumenthal showed A♠K♦9♣2♠ to share the low but claim just a quarter of the pot.
