Blom Gives Up to Birgaoanu on the River
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Viktor Blom and Andrei Birgaoanu built a pot of around 50,000 as they went heads-up to the K♠5♥9♠ flop. Blom then bet 36,000 from the small blind and Birgaoanu called in the hijack.
Blom bet another 76,000 on the 4♠ turn and Birgaoanu again called. Blom slowed down and checked the Q♣ river, and Birgaoanu quickly checked back.
Blom showed A♥4♥, but Birgaoanu had K♦Q♦ for two pair to win the pot.
