Blom Put to the Test
Oh the joy and pain of late position - cutoff James Mitchell just sparked off an interesting hand by raising to 12k, which button Viktor Blom upped to 28,500. Now small blind Roland de Wolfe fourbet to 65k (leaving himself 145k behind). It was an instant pass for Mitchell, but the complete opposite for Blom, who counted out both stacks (they were pretty even at this point, Blom covered probably by only a few thousand) and then sat thinking and occasionally conversing sotto voce with de Wolfe.
Minutes ticked by. Blom was jiggling up and down like he was being shaken under the table.
"I can't tell you what I have," said Blom at one point (only a little piece of the quiet chat which went back and forth). "Why not?" was de Wolfe's response.
Finally another player called the clock on Blom, who seemed a little put out (asking for the dastardly clock caller to be identified).
"You show?" he asked de Wolfe.
"You show?" he got in reply.
"No, just you," said Blom. He folded and got his wish - de Wolfe showed . Blom requested to rabbit hunt the flop but no joy.
