Blom Gets the Max
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a board of K♥6♣3♥8♦, Viktor Blom and Alexandros Theologis were heads-up with around 80,000 in the middle. Blom checked to Theologis who bet 45,000 and Blom check-raised to 125,000. Theologis called and the 2♠ landed on the river.
Blom counted out a bet of 250,000, enough to cover Theologis' stack of around 150,000. Theologis went into the tank, using one of his time banks before dropping in the call.
Blom turned over 8♥8♣ for a set of eights while Theologis could only muster K♦J♣ for top pair.
