Blom Navigates River Spots
There was around 40,000 in the pot on the 10♥8♣6♦K♠A♣ completed board. Cesar Veroez, in the big blind, had a bet of 26,000 out in front of him. His opponent was Viktor Blom, who was in the cutoff. After some thinking time, Blom called. Veroez immediately tapped the table, to signal to Blom that he was good. Veroez just mucked his hand and Blom took in the pot.
Around ten minutes later, Blom found himself in another spot on the river. This time the board read Q♣7♣5♠2♠10♦, and Raphael Debbah bet 6,000 into a pot of around 42,000 from the big blind. Blom, in early position, raised to 32,800 and folded out Debbah.
On the next deal, Blom opened to 1,800 from under the gun. Josef Schusteritsch called from the button.
On the J♣6♦5♦ flop, Blom had his 1,800 continuation bet called. Blom check-called for 7,500 on the 10♥ turn, before check-folding to a bet of 36,000 on the K♥ river.
