Viktor Blom did not play at all yesterday as he was probably busy crushing some high stakes online cash games, but today he's focused on some tournament poker. Or is he?
Blom just ended up all in for his tournament life against David Benefield and the showdown played out as following.
Blom: 
Benefield: 
The board ran out 
and the pot was chopped. Blom had quite a lot of outs to win the pot but eventually his profit was minimal.
"I only played because it was suited," Blom said with a smile.
After a moment of silence he continued, "I'm gonna be out in an hour anyway, I'm just here to have some fun," the Swedish high stakes specialist said.
Blom has around 220,000 chips and that's still very comfortable, but we all know how much he likes to get his chips into the pot!
In one of the last hands of Level 9, we happened upon a pot with 500,000 in the middle and a board reading

"Straight," Vogelsang said and tabled the 
. O'Dwyer longingly looked back at his own cards, which promoted Vogelsang to ask, "Did you have an eight or was it a bluff?"
O'Dwyer did not answer and instead sent his cards to the muck unseen.
