Lonis Doubles Through Blom; Obst Adds Chips
Level 11
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a flop of Q♥6♠5♠, Jesse Lonis got his stack of 236,000 in against Viktor Blom and was at risk in the following showdown.
Jesse Lonis: Q♠J♠10♥8♣
Viktor Blom: K♣K♥Q♦6♦
Lonis had a pair of queens with a flush draw and was trailing Blom's pocket kings. The 2♣ turn was a blank, but Lonis spiked his flush on the 2♠ river to avoid an early reentry on Day 2.
One hand later, Tom Vogelsang raised and was three-bet by James Obst in the next seat for the Dutch player to call. The A♣A♠3♥ flop saw Vogelsang check-call for 23,000 before they checked the 8♥ turn. Vogelsang then checked the 7♠ river, and Obst's bet of 75,000 won the pot without resistance.
