Event 8: Blog It!

$300 + $50 NLH

Bradley Battles Back

After tearing up his home game and burning up the internet with his blog posts, Bradley Utz (Raliegh, NC) is playing in his second event of the Borgata Summer Poker Open.

Utz is in the big blind when the button limps and the two see a flop of J♠ 9♣ 2♥. Utz leads out, is reraised and then, with stealth like precision, slides in his last 5,800.

The big blind tanks and folds as Utz feigns a sigh of relief and follows it with, "you should've called off on the end," as neither player shows.

Utz, no relation to the pretzel family, is now at 23k after suffering a bad beat when his set was chased down by runner-runner flush.

Level 9 (500/1000/100 ante) is underway.
