Blom's Overbet Pays Off

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board reading {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} and about 1,800 in the pot, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom bet 1,450 and received a call from his opponent on the button. Both players checked the {Q-Clubs} turn, which was followed by the {Q-Hearts} on the river. Blom lined up some chips and threw out a bet of 7,800, almost twice the size of the pot.

The button didn't seem convinced and counted out a call. He debated a few more seconds before tossing them in the pot. Blom turned over {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for aces and queens with a king kicker. It was good as the button simply mucked. Blom's aggression is working and he is up to 65,000.
