Blom's Stack Takes a Hit

Viktor Blom

We caught up with the action just as a player was getting all-in against Viktor Blom. It appeared that Blom had raised from the cutoff and was re-raised all in for about 5,000 from his opponent in the big blind. Blom called and hands were revealed.

Blom: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board left Blom's opponent with aces and sixes and he scooped the pot.

The young Swedish pro is still in decent shape, however, with 17,000.
