Blom Can't Hold

Nick Becker

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action picked up on the flop of J♦3♣9♣ in a hand between the under-the-gun Shariq Khan and Viktor Blom in the hijack.

With about 40,000 already in the middle, the rest of Khan's stack of 19,900 went in, with Blom quickly calling.

Shariq Khan: A♠A♥8♦2♣ All in
Viktor Blom: K♥Q♠J♠9♥

Blom was in the lead with top two pair, but when the board ran out 5♦4♣, Khan made a wheel on the river to survive.
