Blain Avoids Cowboys, Or Did He?
Dermot Blain just narrowly avoided getting his money in badly when he re-raise folded against his Ludovic Marguerat.
Marguerat opened to 8,100, folding out everyone except Blain, who was seated in the small blind. The Irishman then re-raised to 25,500, which prompted his opponent to ask him how many chips he had behind.

"Aces? You had aces?" asked Blain, to which Marguerat shook his head.
"Kings?" said an inquisitive Blain, to which he received no response. Make of that what you will.
