Blom Goes the Dynamite

Blom all smiles after that
Blom all smiles after that
Viktor Blom has been bleeding chips over the last level, and he finally found a spot to commit his remaining 13,100. Blom got them in there after Markus Golser opened the pot to 3,100. The action wasn't done yet, though, as Isabelle Mercier came back over the top with a reraise to 28,000. Golser quickly folded his pocket eights, and Blom was officially at risk at the hands of Mercier. Cards up:

Blom: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Mercier: {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}

The {8-Diamonds} on the flop hit Golser like a blowdart, and he almost fell backwards out of his chair. In the end, the board of {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} was safe for Blom, and he's found his first small double up back to about 32,000.
