The flop laid Kd3d2h in a three-way pot. Brian Blanchard checked and an early-position player bet 7,100. It folded to a player in late position and he jammed for just less than 12,000. Action was back on Blanchard and he shoved for more. The early-position player folded and Blanchard was in position to bust a player.

Blanchard: 2c2d for a set
Late-position player: Ad5d for flush and straight draws

Runout: 5c turn 5h river

Blanchard improved to a fullhouse and busted the ace-five opponent. With that, Blanchard, who won last September’s Fall Little Slick for $25,000, grew his chip stack to 45,000.
