Hand 121: Ira Blumenthal
Button: Ira Blumenthal (seat 5) – No interest from anyone as Marcus takes the blinds and antes.
Hand 122: Van Marcus
Button: Maor Feldinger (seat 6) – Marcus raises to 60,000, and that’s enough to claim the pot.
Hand 123: Van Marcus
Button: Maor Feldinger (seat 6) – Once again, Marcus pops it up to 60,000 and takes the chips in the middle.
Hand 124: Ira Blumenthal
Button: Nicholas Bamman (seat 2) – This time it’s Blumenthal who gets the free pass.
Hand 125: Brett Parise
Button: Brett Parise (seat 4) – Parise raises to 50,000, and takes it down without any further action. It’s like a sparring session with one bet enough to take the blinds and antes. The value of this play is about to be increased with the new level of 6000/12,000 and antes of 2000.
Hand 126: Ira Blumenthal
Button: Ira Blumenthal (seat 5) – The bet of 80,000 doesn’t interest Feldinger or Marcus.
Hand 127: Brett Parise
Button: Maor Feldinger (seat 6) – Blumenthal gets it going with a bet of 80,000 and Parise declares all-in. Blumenthal calls, but is miles behind with sevens against Parise’s kings. The board of 5h Ks 2h 3d 9c make Parise a set and he doubles through Blumenthal. That makes a pot of more than 650,000 for the youngest player at the final table.
Hand 128: Nicholas Bamman
Button: Van Marcus (seat 9) – Bamman reraises to 190,000 after Marcus raised 60,000. Marcus folds.
Hand 129: Ira Blumenthal
Button: Nicholas Bamman (seat 2) – For the second round in-a-row, Blumenthal takes the pot unchallenged.
Hand 130: Brett Parise
Button: Brett Parise (seat 4) – Parise raises to 90,000 on the button and gathers the blinds and antes.
