Blom's Gonna Blom

Shamus

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom has been active as usual throughout Level 6, involved in hands nearly every time we've passed by his table today. Here are a couple of recent ones involving the swingy Swede.

In the first the board read {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} and there was about 5,000 in the middle when a middle position player pushed out a bet of 2,000 and Blom quickly called from late position. The river then brought the {A-Spades} and a check from Blom's opponent. Blom quickly fired 6,300, and his opponent didn't waste much time before saying he was calling.

Blom watched his opponent turn over {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for aces, and Blom patted the felt, acknowledging his opponent's call before pushing his cards to the dealer.

That hand had knocked Blom back down under the 100,000-chip mark, but soon after he was at it again, this time raising to 1,100 from middle position. Timothy Adams then reraised to 3,000 from a couple of seats over, and when it folded back to Blom he called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {6-Spades} . Blom checked, Adams bet 3,100, and Blom called. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} , and again Blom check-called a bet from Adams, this time for 8,000.

The river was the {2-Clubs} . Blom checked one more time, and Adams fired yet again, pushing out 19,300. Blom tanked for some time, then called, tabling {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} . His nines were good, as Adams had but {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
