Blom Gets Lucky to Make Malinov the Bubble Boy
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Atanas Malinov opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from the cutoff. Viktor Blom three-bet to 90,000 on the button before Malinov four-bet to 190,000. Blom five-bet jammed for 710,000 and Malinov immediately called all in for 655,000.
Atanas Malinov: A?A?
Viktor Blom: J?7?
The flop was safe for Malinov, Q?9?5? but the turn 7? gave Blom life. The river J? smacked the felt and Blom improved to two-pair to send Malinov to the rail, short of the money.
