Blom Amps Up the Pressure
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Artur Martirosian opened to 90,000 from middle position only to see Viktor Blom three-bet to 365,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Martirosian who called.
The flop came 3♥7♦Q♠ and Martirosian checked to Blom. He continued for 140,000, receiving a call from Martirosian.
Martirosian checked following the 5♥ turn. Blom was in no mood to slow down, instead pushing a hefty 565,000 into the pot. After thinking for some time, Martirosian laid down his hand to preserve his stack on the soft bubble.
