Blumenthal Scoops a Raise-Heavy Pot

Level 22

Stud Hi-Lo

Donovan Bates: XxXx/9A ~ folded on fourth street
Eddie Blumenthal: 10969/QQ3
Mark Rubbathan: XxXx/J1095/Xx
Dekel Balas: XxXx/6 ~ folded on third street

Dekel Balas brought in, and Donovan Bates completed. Eddie Blumenthal made it two bets to go, and Mark Rubbathan made it three. Balas got out of the way, but both Bates and Blumenthal stuck around.

On fourth street, Blumenthal bet when checked to, and Rubbathan put in a raise. Only Blumenthal called. He then called a bet on fifth street, also.

On sixth, Blumenthal took the initiative with a bet, and he bet out again on seventh when called. Rubbathan took some time, rechecked his cards on multiple occasions, then stuck in the call. Blumenthal's queens in the hole for two pair saw him awarded the pot.
