Bloom Catches Steicke

[user67765]

Tony Bloom raised from under the gun and David Steicke defended with a call in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn was the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and Steicke checked to Bloom who fired 30,000. Steicke made the call.

The river was the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

and Steicke grabbed a stack of yellow chips, cut it in half and slid 50,000 into the middle. Bloom made a quick call. Steicke froze for a few seconds, seemingly not wanting to reveal his cards but eventually showed {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

for flush and straight draws that missed. Bloom tabled {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

for the best hand to take the pot.
