Viktor Blom opened the pot to 225K, which was raised to 700K by big-stack Darren Elias. The action was folded back to Blom, who decided to go all-in after very little thinking. Elias snapped, not caring about the size of Blom’s stack – which was about 4.5M.

Blom hit running spades for a jack high flush and a 10 million pot!
He is now sitting in 2nd place with about 11M, close to his neighbor David Eldridge who is in the lead with about 12M. In the picture below, Blom is watching closely as the dealer proceeds to double him up.
Darren Elias lost his remaining million shortly after, and was followed by Benoit Gallant.
