Dean Blatt limped in under the gun and a player to his left raised to 1,300. There were four called including the cutoff, the button and both blinds before Blatt called as well creating six-way action.
The flop was 
and action checked to the player on the button who made it 3,400 to go. Only Blatt called so the players were heads up.
On the 
turn, Blatt checked again. His opponent bet 4,600 and Blatt called.
The river was the 
and Blatt put out a bet of 20,000. His opponent quickly folded so Blatt took down the pot.
"Did you have it?" the player asked.
"Did you have aces?" Blatt asked. "I had you crushed. Were you betting the river?"
The play said that he was betting the river.
"You were? It was such a bad river," Blatt responded.
Regardless, Blatt took down the pot and chipped up to about 63,000.
