Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): No Friends On The Felt

Level 13 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/300)
Total Day 1B Entries: 182

Scott Blumstein and DJ MacKinnon are friends off the felt, but when action folds to them blind v. blind, things are still going to go down.  DJ was in the small blind, and he opened to 5,500, with Blumstein taking little time to three-bet to 13,000.  MacKinnon thought for a little before making it 23,000, and Blumstein then shipped for just over 75,000 after thinking things through:

MacKinnon: K K
Blumstein: A 9♣

Runout: J Q 8♠ 5♣ 6

MacKinnon's pocket kings would hold, and he is now over 300,000.  Tournament Director Tom Martucci has just announced to the field that blinds are going up (Level 14), with players now posting 1,500/3,000/400.
