Blatt Rails Damelian
Level 8
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
While Robert Damelian enjoyed a decent start to the tournament he has been on a downward spiral as of late, with Dean Blatt administering the coup de grace shortly after the start of the new level.
Blatt was the man initially driving the action with a raise from the cutoff, with a short-stacked Damelian moving all-in from the big blind. Blatt made the call and the players revealed their hole cards.
Robert Damelian: 
Dean Blatt: 
The 
flop gave Damelian a gutshot straight draw and Blatt middle set. Unfortunately for Damelian the 
turn and 
river were not enough to keep his tournament hopes alive and he headed for the exit, while Blatt stacked up to 80,000.
