Pillay Takes Some Off Bloom
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Marko Nortje raised to 120,000 with the K♦8♠ on the button and folded when Alvin Pillay three-bet J♣7♠ in the small blind.
Two hands later, Sean Bloom jammed the flop against Pillay and forced out his opponent while the final three players were still discussing any possible deal.
Bloom then opened to 140,000 with the 10♣8♥ and Pillay called in the big blind with the 7♣5♥. On the A♦J♦6♠ flop, Pillay check-called for 105,000 and led the 4♠ turn for 225,000 with his up and down straight draw to win the pot.
