The Swan Song of Jeff Blenkarn

Mark Herm is all in for 78,000 from the button against Jeff Blenkarn, who is under the gun.

Blenkarn: [KhKd]
Herm: [AhKc]

Board: [7h5c2cJsAc]

Blenkarn is down to 1,200 after the hand and he gets the last of those chips into the middle to cover his big blind on the very next hand. He is all in with [9d2h] against the pocket jacks Tim Reilly, and the board runs out [9h3d2d10s4h] to keep him alive, just barely with 5,900.

Blenkarn is all again on the next hand, this time from the small blind. The cutoff and Stan Jablonski call him down, but after a [Qs6s2h] flop the cutoff raises to isolate. Jablonski mucks so it’s down to Blenkarn and the cutoff. Blenkarn holds [As2d] but his opponent holds [Kc6d], and the turn or river don’t provide any help. Blenkarn is eliminated on the hand.

Mark Herm – 170,000 (70 bb)
Jeff Blenkarn – Eliminated
