Scott Blackman (Egg Harbor Twp, NJ)

Scott Blackman has been up and out of his seat for most of the early portions of this Final Table. 

He's mostly been folding and then heading to the rail to lament how he hasn't even had a "marginal" spot to move all-in with. 

Well, he picked a certainly "marginal" spot and got there when he moved all-in for his final 710,000 from the cut off. 

The action was folded to Tyreem Williams in the small blind, who called. Ed Walsh folded in the big blind and Williams was slightly ahead. 

Blackman held 7♥4♥, to Williams' A♦10♣.

The flop of J♠5♥3♥ couldn't have been much better for Blackman, who "locked it up" on the turn when the 10♥ spiked. 

The needless 8♣ fell on the river and Blackman was doubling up to just over 1,500,000. 

Williams was chopped down to close to 2,600,000.
