My Ace High Any Good?

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante
Viktor Blom
Viktor Blom

Somebody needs to tell the fearless Jean Noel Thorel that Team Pokerstars Pro Viktor Blom is quite a good heads up player. At the moment all of the action on table 17 is going through these two players with Thorel seemingly throwing the gauntlet down to Blom.

In the latest exchange of bluffs we caught the two of them a little later than we would have liked because we missed the pre flop action. The flop was {j-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {10-Spades} and Thorel bet 2,500. Blom raised to 6,200 and Thorel called.

Before the turn was dealt Thorel checked in the dark and Blom bet 6,500. Thorel then made it 15,000 more to play. A few short breaths later and Blom was all-in making it another 13,675 for Thorel to call and he did.

"Is my Ace high good?" Asked Blom.

"Yes." Muttered Thorel.

Thorel: {q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Blom: {a-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

The turn was {3-Spades} and the river was the {2-Spades} and as the dealer shipped most of Thorel's chips to Blom they both started laughing.

"Will you stop bluffing me?" Blom asked politely.
