Blom Busts a Shorty

A player went all-in from under-the-gun for his last 2,100. Action folded around to Viktor Blom on the button, who called. The blinds got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Blom: {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board left Blom with a pair of eights, which was good enough to scoop the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Blom's stack has been slowly but surely climbing throughout the day. He is up to 65,000.
