Back From Break with Viktor Blom
After the first break of the day, two new entrants pushed Event #1 past the five table mark. Viktor Bloom was drawn to move and he took just shy of 240,000 chips to Table 6 – where we spent Level 3…
While Blom brought us to Table 6, first blood went to Lasse Nielsen. The man flying the Maltese flag flopped a straight to take a majority of Jonathan Depa’s stack – while pushing himself over 200,000.
The American – playing out of Costa Rica – remained on that short stack for an orbit, before Yuri Dzivielevski joined him under the century mark.
Dzivielevski went to the river and folded against Germany’s Fernando Habegger, with the board and final action posted below:
A few hands later, Habegger and Blom clashed in a pot that further separated the Table 6 chip leaders. Habegger opened, Blom three-bet from the blinds, and then continued on the flop.
The Swede slowed down on the turn and folded after a Habegger bet the turn – as pictured above. Habegger is now one of the top stacks in Event #1.
