Stepas Tindziulis Takes From Neil Blumenfield
Last night, Stepas Tindziulis won Event #10 for his first ring and a five-figure payday. Today, the 30-year-old pro from Lithuania finds himself sharing a Main Event table with Ellen Lambeth and former November Niner Neil Blumenfield, among others.
Tindziulis and Blumenfield are involved in a recent four-bet pot in which Blumenfield is the aggressor in position. There's already about 18,000 in the middle as the flop comes . Tindziulis checks from the big blind, Blumenfield continues for 6,500, and Tindziulis check-raises all in. Blumenfield has 15,250 chips left and is slightly covered, and he ponders for a couple minutes before surrendering his cards into the muck.
Tindziulis wins the pot with no showdown, and his Main Event is off to a suitably good start.
Stepas Tindziulis - 48,000
Neil Blumenfield - 13,250
