Ivey Play and Blom's Arrival
![[user76079]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Viktor Blom is in the house and he's been sat at a very juicy table with Annette Obrestad and David Williams to his direct right and Xuan Liu to his left. Let the fireworks begin!
As Blom sat down at the table someone pointed out that he started with 300 chips less because of his late entry.
"Don't worry, Annette is going to give it to me on the first hand," Blom jokingly said as he took his seat to Obrestad's immediate right. Dutch player Clyde Tjauw Foe is seated to Blom's left followed by Philippe Ktorza and Liu.
"I'm not going to just give it to you," Obrestad laughed as the two started discussing some hands they played in past events. The atmosphere at the table is light hearted but we're pretty sure Blom is going to turn this table upside down in a matter of hands.
Tamer Kamel has made himself comfortable on the EPT after his final table appearance in London. He went on to cash in Berlin and is in today's field. He was probably happy with his table draw until Phil Ivey sat down to his left. Kamel just felt a little bit of Ivey's force too.
The action folded to Kamel in the small blind and he completed and called when Ivey raised to 600. The flop fell 
and Kamel check-called an 800 bet to see the 
turn. Ivey made him believe, and check-fold, when he fired 1,800 into the middle.
