A Blom Stumble

Viktor Blom had slipped back below 100,000 when the following hand took place. After a raise from the cutoff to 1,600, Viktor Blom reraised to 4,200 from the button, then watched as the small blind four-bet all in for 29,400 total. The big blind and original raiser both folded, but Blom called the shove.

Blom had {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, but his opponent had woken up with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. The five community cards came {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}, and as happened with Michael Mizrachi moments ago, Blom, too, had lost about half of his stack.
