Bloom Doubles Through Nortje
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The action folded to Marko Nortje in the cutoff and he simply decided to push all-in into shorter stacks. Sean Bloom called all-in for 1,160,000 in the big blind and the cards were flipped over.
Sean Bloom: A♣K♣ 
Marko Nortje: 5♣4♠
The A♦6♣3♠ flop gave Bloom the top pair while Nortje had the up and down straight draw. Neither the 10♦ turn and the A♥ river improved Nortje and Bloom took a chunk out of the chip leader.
