Outer Table Hands #47-51: Blumstein Takes an Unusual Line
Hand #47: Valentin Messina opened for 675,000 as second to act and swept up the blinds and antes.
Hand #48: Scott Blumstein made it 1 million in the small blind, and Richard Dubini called. The flop came and both players checked. Blumstein checked the turn and Dubini bet 1 million. Blumstein finally sprang to life with a check-raise to 3.1 million. He won the pot.
Hand #49: David Guay shoved for approximately 4.5 million and won the pot.
Hand #50: Pedro Oliveira raised to 700,000 under the gun, and Antoine Saout made it 2.5 million to go in the small blind. Oliveira folded in short order.
Hand #51: Richard Gryko raised to 700,000 early, and Saout three-bet again, this time to 2,225,000. Gryko responded with an all-in shove for around 10 million and won the pot.
