Blom Bluffs Some Off

Viktor Blom is well-known for being a hyper-aggressive player. His "live by the sword, die by the sword" style has paid off for him thus far - but even Blom can get caught with his hand in the cookie jar on occasion.

We caught up with the action on a {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, where Blom and his lone opponent checked.

The turn brought a {Q-Clubs} and Blom quickly fired a 700 bet into the middle. His opponent called behind.

Blom did not shy away on the {2-Spades} river and fired 1,200. His opponent thought it over and tossed in a call. Blom insta-mucked his hand without showing.

The online-phenom, who recently won the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure High Roller event is still healthy with 27,000.
