Gus Hansen raised from under the gun. In the big blind, Viktor Blom had already committed 15,000 of his remaining 19,000. He slowly peeled one card at a time and took a pause.
"Oh no, I have a big hand," remarked Blom as he put in his last 4,000.
Viktor Blom: Q?Q? 
Gus Hansen: 10?10?
Blom was in great shape to find a double and it stayed that way on the A?8?6? flop.
Nothing changed on the K? turn.
However, in grotesque fashion, the dealer fanned out the 10? on the river to eliminate Blom on the stone bubble.
After 44 hands and over three hours of real time, the players are in the money.
