River Action Sends Big Pot to Bloom

[user67765]

Tony Bloom

Tony Bloom raised from under the gun and David Steicke called in the big blind. They saw a head-up flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

and Steicke checked to Bloom who fired 45,000. Steicke made the call.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and both players checked. The river brought the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

which was definitely an action card! Steicke led out for 60,000 and Bloom put in a big raise to 200,000. Steicke gave the decision a moment of thought before defiantly declaring a call.

Bloom flipped {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

for the flush as Steicke flashed {9-?}

{9-?}

{10-?}

for a rivered straight. Bloom is now up to 650,000 with Steicke back to 900,000.
