Bland Calls Down For a Knockout
A player in the big blind bet 10,000 on a flop of 4♣2♥9♠ and Frank Bland called in the hijack.
The turn was the 2♠ and the big blind bet another 25,000. Bland again called, and the 4♦ fell on the river. The big blind then moved all in for 50,000, and Bland took a minute before calling.
The big blind showed 6♣6♦, but Bland had K♥9♦ for two pair to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail. "Only hand I could beat," Bland said as he stacked up around 420,000 after the hand.
