Blom Scores a Knockout
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Anthony Arvidson three-bet to 25,000 on the button and Viktor Blom called in the cutoff.
The flop came K♠9♦2♦ and Blom moved all in as Arvidson quickly called for his last 23,000.
Anthony Arvidson: A♠A♣10♠8♣3♦
Viktor Blom: A♥K♦7♥6♦4♠
Arvidson was ahead with his aces until the K♣ fell on the turn, giving Blom trips. The river was the 5♣ and Arvidson was sent to the rail.
"If you're running so hot, how did you not win heads-up?" tablemate Tyler Phillips said to Blom, who finished runner-up in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship earlier today.
Mike Matusow was eliminated from this table a few hands later.
