Wantman Wins Blind vs Blind

Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded to Matthew Wantman in the small blind who raised to 4,000. Mark Ioli made the call from the big blind and the dealer fanned out the 6?8?A? flop.
Wantman continued with a lead for 3,500 and was met with a quick call from Ioli before the dealer brought the 7? out on the turn.
Both players paused before checking through to a J? river.
Wantman reached for his chips and counted out a bet worth 10,500. Ioli wasn't immediate in letting his cards go and seemed to have a decision on his hands but would eventually fold, giving the pot to Wantman with no need for a showdown.
