Blom Amps Up the Pressure
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Artur Martirosian opened to 90,000 from middle position only to see Viktor Blom three-bet to 365,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Martirosian who called.
The flop came 3?7?Q? and Martirosian checked to Blom. He continued for 140,000, receiving a call from Martirosian.
Martirosian checked following the 5? turn. Blom was in no mood to slow down, instead pushing a hefty 565,000 into the pot. After thinking for some time, Martirosian laid down his hand to preserve his stack on the soft bubble.
