Mitchell & Blom Make Friends

James Mitchell limped in mid position, and to his immediate left erstwhile chip leader Viktor Blom made it 20,500. It folded back to Mitchell, who calmly went all in for 147,200.

Blom stared at him fixedly, while Mitchell gazed unconcernedly across the table at the various media personnel who were recording the moment for posterity. Eventually just the vaguest shadow of a smile crept across his face, and almost at the same time Blom folded.

Mitchell told him afterwards he'd had {a-}{k-}. Said a jovial Blom, "I should have just called preflop," and they had a good laugh about it. These two seem to be thoroughly enjoying themseleves at the moment.
