Three players saw a flop of 9♥3♥5♦. The under-the-gun player bet 1,100, which made the cutoff fold, but Viktor Blom check-called from the big blind.
On the K♦ turn, the under-the-gun fired a second barrel and Blom check-called once again, then both players checked the 6♦ river.
First player to reveal his cards, Blom flipped over J♠9♠ for a pair but his opponent with A♥9♦ had a better kicker.
