"What you got?" Luke Schwartz shouted to Viktor Blom moments ago.
"Thirty-two," he responded, laughing.
"Thirty-two?" Schwartz echoed. "It's a miracle."
Blom is still a bit green when it comes to mixed games. In fact, Daniel Negreanu gave him a quick lesson before the event:

On the printed structure sheet, the bring in for Level 5 is 100. Daniel Negreanu said this was wrong, and indeed he was correct. One or two hands on each table were played with a 100 bring-in, but the error has been adjusted.
