Viktor Blom Eliminated
Level 6
: 400/800, 100 ante
The rare sight of Viktor "Isildur1" Blom playing in a poker tournament is over. The Swedish high-stakes cash game never gained any traction and saw his stack slowly dwindling down throughout the day.
In Blom's final hand, Nicolas Renee opened to 1,700 on the button. Down to his last 13,000, Viktor Blom looked down at pocket jacks in the small blind and pushed all in. The player in the big blind cold-called the shove, as did Renee.
On an 
flop containing two diamonds, the big blind bet 7,000 and Renee called. Both players checked the 
on the turn. On the 
river, the big blind checked, Renee bet 20,000 and the big blind called.
Renee showed for a set of sixes and the winner. The big blind mucked 
, Blom mucked his jacks and quickly headed out of the tournament area.
