Blom's Got Balls

Viktor Blom has just shown the sort of bottle that's won and lost him millions over the last couple of years. He was involved in a pot with Rob Akery who himself is a high-stakes online cash player.

The turn had just been dealt and the board read {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} with around 70k already in the middle. Akery checked from UTG and then called Blom's 52,000 bet from mid-position. The river came {4-Spades} and Akery quickly checked to face a 278,000 all-in push from Blom. Akery looked like he was at the London Dungeons rather than Leicester Square as he had a tortured look upon his face as he pondered his decision for his last 260k. He eventually folded only to be shown {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} from Blom for a bluff.
