Viktor Blom Eliminated at The Death

The PCA High Roller Champion is out.
The PCA High Roller Champion is out.

Team PokerStars Pro Viktor Blom raised to 10,000 under the gun and Talal Shakerchi and Tom Marchese called behind.

Flop: {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

Blom checked, Shakerchi bet 17,000, Marchese folded, Blom check-raised to 68,000 and Shakerchi called.

Turn: {5-Spades}

If anybody was searching for that spade then they found it. Blom seemed to like it because he bet 108,000 and after a little bit of chin scratching Shakerchi made the call.

River: {6-Hearts}

Blom bet 140,000 and Shakerchi moved all-in. Blom went to insta-call, pulled his chips, thought for a while but then did make the call. Shakerchi turned over {A-Spades} {4-Spades} for the nuts and the dealer forced Blom to show his cards and he had {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}.

Blom headed straight for the rail and Shakerchi headed into the top spot on our leader board with 1,165,000 chips.

"You played that very well," said Scott Seiver.
