$200 NLH "Isle New Year Kickstart" (Flight 1C): Thomas Svensen Feeling All Kins Of "Bleau"

"Isle New Year Kickstart"
$200 No Limit Hold'em

$100,000 GTD
Level 15 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/4,000)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 102
Fight 1C Players Remaining: 23

Dave Bleau (Jupiter, FL) had one foot out the door, but outflopped the pocket aces of Thomas Svensen, and now has his sights set on bagging.

"You missed a big one just a few minutes ago," Thomas Svensen mentioned in passing, as he went into detail about said hand.  Svensen, who was one of the chip leaders in the field, decided to limp in with pocket aces.  When action came around to Dave Bleau, he would shove for just over 65,000, clearing out the players behind.  Svensen made the easy call, and would be up against Bleau's K J♠, in seemingly great position to chip up to 200,000.  

Unfortunately for Svensen, the flop brought both and king and jack, and Thomas would be unable to recover from Bleau flopping two-pair.  Svensen was left with just over 130,000 after the hand, while Dave chipped up to the same amount.

Thomas Svensen - 130,000 (32bb)
Dave Bleau - 130,000 (32bb)
