(Michael Blackwell)Michael Blackwell raised to 3,200 from under-the-gun and Shawn Van Asdale moved all in for his last 9,100 from middle position. The small blind cold-called and Blackwell called as well.
The flop was 742 and after the small blind checked, Blackwell bet 22,000. The small blind folded and Blackwell was left heads-up with Van Asdale as the cards were turned on their backs.
Van Asdale showed QQ and needed to fade a bunch of outs against Blackwell’s AK. The turn was the A and Blackwell took the lead. The river was the 6 and Van Asdale was eliminated. Blackwell chips up to 82,000.
