Kim Takes a Big Hit Courtesy of Blom

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim opened to 17,000 from the button and Viktor Blom three-bet to 50,000 from the small blind. Kim made the call.

The flop came 9♥5♣4♥ and Blom fired a 45,000 continuation-bet that was called by Kim.

Both players then checked the 7♦ turn leading to the K♥ river. Blom bet 145,000 and Kim used a time extension before making the call.

Blom turned over top pair with K♣J♣ which was enough to drag in a healthy pot.
