Viktor "Isildur1" Blom's Feature Table Appearance Short But Not So Sweet

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom was recently moved to the feature table, something he's not fond of, but his stay there was short.

Blom shoved his last 98,000 from the button after Robert Haigh had opened for 13,000 from early position. After the blinds got out of the way, Haigh called and Blom discovered the bad news.

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Haigh was a 73.06% favorite while Blom would survive 22.54% of the time.

The flop was no help to the Swede, and his chances dropped to 15.35% while Haigh's jumped to 81.92%. The turn paired Haigh, and he became a 90.91% favorite. Blom needed a queen and a queen only on the river to survive — something that would come just 9.09% of the time — but it wasn't in the cards as the blanked.
