Daniel Blum had been left short by Jon Turner in a three-way hand that also involved Joey Couden. A couple of hands later, Blum found himself all in and at risk against Nikolay Ponomarev.
At the neighboring table, James Cheung was also all in. With a pay jump on the line, play slowed down a bit but Cheung ended up chopping the pot to survive. Blum, on the other hand, was not so fortunate as Ponomarev scooped him holding trip nines to send Blum to the payout desk in 16th place.
