Blom Triples Up
Level 8
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Viktor Blom burned through his first bullet earlier in the day and wasn't having much luck with second entry either. The online phenom was down to just 330,000 and pushed all in from middle position. Manig Loeser was in the hijack and shipped all in over the top for 480,000. Alex Foxen called from the small blind and the three hands were tabled.
Viktor Blom: 
Manig Loeser: 
Alex Foxen: 
The flop came 
and although Loeser was still out front with a pair of kings, Blom picked up an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the 
locking up the main pot for Blom. The 
on the river allowed Loeser to win the small side pot of just 300,000.
