Viktor Blom Does More Viktor Blom Things

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Faced with a 10,200-chip bet from Ognjen Sekularac on a board of {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Viktor Blom opted to raise to 27,100. Sekularac tanked for a bit, then slid forward a tower of blue T5,000 chips.

Blom grinned, quickly flashed an unimportant card, then folded, leaving himself with just 26,000 chips.

He busted shortly after.

Gruissem Wins Flip; Busts Wigg

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Anton Wigg opened to 3,200 from middle position, Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 7,300 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Wigg, who moved all in for what looked like 50,000 or so. Gruissem immediately called.

Wigg: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Gruissem: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop didn't change much, but the {q-Diamonds} on the turn gave Gruissem a leading pair of queens. The {4-Spades} bricked on the river, and Wigg released a very long sigh. Gruissem extended a hand to his friend, who shook it then exited the tournament area.

Greenstein Avoids Ace on the River

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Mike Watson fired 12,000 on the turn of a {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} only for Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein to check-raise all in for about 42,000. Watson sighed a little and made the call.

Greenstein: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Watson: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

There was a little teasing about an 'ace on the river' - the name of Greenstein's book but the {5-Clubs} came instead to make him a full house.
