Viktor Blom raised in the cutoff, Michael Moncek three-bet on the button, and Blom called. Both players drew two, and Blom bet his last chips. Moncek called.
Moncek drew two on the last draws, while Blom took one then stood pat. He turned over Jx8x6x4x2x, while Moncek was showing 7x3x2x as he prepared to reveal his last cards.
The first was the 4x, while Moncek then turned over the 9x to win the pot and send Blom to the rail.
"It happens. Next time," Blom said on his way out.
