All Nordic Showdown Ends with Sweden Triumphant
Limit Hold'em
Johannes Becker opened on the button before Gus Hansen three-bet out of the small blind. Viktor Blom then put in a cold four-bet out of the big blind, getting two calls from his opponents.
Hansen checked following the 9♣2♣10♠ flop and Blom fired off a bet. Becker responded with a raise only to see Hansen come back over the top. Blom did not appear concerned by this high level of action as he took the opportunity to re-raise. Becker and Hansen just called.
Blom bet again after Hansen checked to him on the 5♣ turn. Becker quickly mucked but Hansen stayed sticky by calling.
Hansen check-called one last bet from Blom after the A♠ river completed the board. Blom held the nuts with A♣3♣ to scoop a large pot off of his fellow Scandinavian.
