Blanco Stacks Blebea
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a board of 9♥9♣J♥3♦A♠ there were around 400,000 chips in the pot when Lucas Blanco bet enough to put Iulian Blebea all-in. Blebea had around 235,000 chips behind and was so deep into the tank that Bin Weng called the clock. The floor were called to initiate the countdown and with two seconds remaining, Blebea called.
Blanco showed 9♠8♠ for trips, and Blebea mucked his hand.
Weng was quick to point out that the all-in player must show their cards, so the dealer tried to retrieve Blebea's cards from the muck and flipped over Q♣2♣, which were probably not Blebea's cards. The Romanian player didn't give anything away as he chuckled to himself on his way to the payout desk.
