Blom Ain't Afraid of the Old Check-Raise

Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
With around 2,500 in the pot, a player in the small blind checked and opened the door for Viktor "Isildur1" Blom to bet. The small blind then woke up with a check-raise to 2,800, but Blom wasn't intimidated and wasted little time in making the call.
When the completed the board on the river, the small blind backed down with a check and Blom seized the opportunity to bet 3,000, leaving himself just a little more than that behind. The small blind eyed up his Swedish opponent but ultimately decided to lay down his hand.
