Van Blarcum Blasts Opponent Out
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Aaron Van Blarcum opened to 22,000 under the gun before the player in the hijack shoved all in for 123,000. Van Blarcum mulled it over for a bit before putting in a call with the covering stack.
Hijack: 10♠10♣ 
Aaron Van Blarcum: A♥8♥
The hijack was ahead with his pair of tens and remained so on the J♦4♣6♠ flop. The A♣ turn brought Van Blarcum a better pair, however, and the 9♥ river did nothing to save the hijack, eliminating him from the Main Event.
