Mike Leah Defeats Viktor Blom

We caught up on a board of {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to see Mike Leah bet out and Viktor Blom raised. Leah called and the {4-Diamonds} rivered. Leah checked and Blom bet out. Leah called and showed {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for turned trips that became a straight on the river. Blom shook his head and showed {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, also for turned trips, but no straight on the river.

The next hand Leah raised preflop only to find Blom three-bet. Leah called and the flop came {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Blom bet and Leah called. The {8-Diamonds} came on fourth and Blom bet once again. Leah raised and Blom quickly sent his hand sailing into the muck.

The next hand Blom and Leah got it all in preflop. Blom held {4-Spades}{2-Spades} against Leah's {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Mike Leah was able to send Viktor Blom home in second place.

"I picked you in my fantasy draft so good luck the rest of the series!" said Leah to Blom as Blom gathered his things and left the table.
