Blumenfield Loses Big

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

The pot already contained around 8,000 and the flop showed {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} when Neil Blumenfield bet 3,000 from the button after his opponent checked. The latter made the call.

Things heated on the turn {q-Hearts} as Blumenfield's opponent pushed all in for a stack worth 12,200. Blumenfield took one minute before saying "Ok, let's go!" for the call and both tabled their cards:

Neil Blumenfield: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
His opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Blumenfield had to hit a straight on the river, facing his opponent's set of jacks, but a {a-Clubs} fell and he was left with a short stack after that hand.
