Blom Gets Away From Top Pair
Level 18
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Alex Foxen K?Q? opened to 100,000 from under the gun and was called by Viktor Blom K?10? and Alessandro Pichierri 4?4? from the hijack and big blind.
The K?Q?6? flop gave Foxen top two pair, while Blom had a pair of kings. Foxen continued for 150,000, and Blom called before Pichierri released his hand.
The 3? turn left Blom drawing dead. Foxen bet 540,000 and was called.
With 1,800,000 in the pot, the board completed with the 5? river. Foxen sized up to 1,285,000. Blom had 1,700,000 behind, and he correctly folded his top pair as Foxen continued to extend his lead.
