Blom is No Longer in the House

Just recently we let everyone know that Viktor Blom had taken his seat in the tournament. Well, he isn't here any more and we were there to catch all the action. It started when an early position player opened the pot to 600. The player directly on his left made the call and it was around to Blom in the small blind. He called and when the big blind got out of the way, a {6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} would be dealt on the felt.

All three players checked the flop and a {q-Hearts} landed on the turn. This time when Blom checked, the original aggressor bet 1,100. The other other player called and Blom shoved all in for around 5,000 in chips. The aggressor snap-called, while the other player got out of the way.

"Do you have trips?" said Blom as he tabled {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. His opponent did have trips, turning over {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Unfortunately the {j-Hearts} river wasn't the card Blom needed and he was sent to the rail.
