Can Blom Fold a Straight
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alex Foxen 4♠3♠ opened to 27,000 from the cutoff and Viktor Blom 10x8x defended his big blind.
Blom check-called for 18,000 on the K♣J♥9♠ flop, and made his straight on the Q♠ turn. Foxen picked up a flush draw, which came in after action checked through to the 2♠ river.
Blom led out for 86,000, and Foxen raised to a sizeable 459,000. Blom found the fold and remained with a starting stack.
