Blom Strikes Again; Knocks Out Hadjipaschali
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Wesley Blom celebrated once more and this time it was a knockout, as he claimed the chips of table neighbour Dimitri Hadjipaschali. The latter had flopped trips kings with K♠Q♦ but Blom rivered a full house with the A♠A♦ on a board of K♥K♦4♠J♠A♣.
As he loudly declared the seat open for the floor to notice, there was another all-in one table over. The flop showed 6♣5♠4♠ and Cliton Taliwanth had jammed his short stack. Derrick Steenkamp was still to act and Taliwanth gritted his teeth to the announcement of Blom.
Ultimately, no call followed and Taliwanth raked in the pot with a big grin, he even flashed the 8♠.
