A Little for Blom

Yori Epskamp

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 0 ante

Viktor Blom's start in this tournament could be described as rocky, to say the least, but the Swedish online phenom was able to chip back up a bit in a recent hand.

After raising preflop, Justin Jones called from the small blind to see an A♠K♦Q♥ flop appear. Jones then check-called a bet from Blom. The 3♠ on the turn got checked by both players.

Jones bet the 2♣ on the river and Blom called. Jones tabled A♦Q♠9♦7♥ for aces and queens, but Blom had him pipped with A♣K♣9♣4♥ to take the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 0 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot with Aditya Prasetyo in the small blind and another player in the cutoff.

The flop read 5♣6♥7♥ and Prasetyo bet which his opponent called.

Prasetyo bet once more on the 8♥ turn which the cutoff called once more.

On the K♠ river, Prasetyo bet a third time and his opponent called.

Prasetyo tabled A♦9♥7♦2♠ for a nine-high straight for high and the nut low, which was good to add to his growing stack.

Shorr slapped A♣A♠4♦2♠ onto the felt for a wheel, but Eric Carey tabled J♥10♦7♠6♠ to his left to steal half the pot with a higher straight.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 0 ante

Mike Leah raised from early position and was called by four people including Sophea Yang in the big blind.

The flop of A♥K♠8♣ saw Yang check to Leah who bet and the player in the hijack raised, seeing only Yang and Leah call.

On the turn 6♠ action checked to the hijack who bet and Yang called while Leah raised, getting calls from of his opponents.

Leah bet on the river 9♦ when action got to him and both players called.

Leah held 6♣6♥3♣2♠ for a set of sixes and the nut low. The player in the hijack held A♠A♦J♠10♠ for a set of aces, but it was no good against 7♣5♠4♥3♥ that rested in Yang's hand for a nine-high straight which was good for high.
