A good flop for Wesley Blomgren's hand
A good flop for Wesley Blomgren’s hand

Wesley Blomgren began his day with an above-average chip stack but slid in the early stages. He found a fun way to get them back.

Blomgren was all-in with 9d9s against pocket queens and it looked like big trouble until the dream flop came Jd9h9c. Just to give him a small sweat, the Qd hit on the turn but he faded runner-runner perfect knockout on the 6d river.

“You needed both of them,” joke a table mate.

The hand pushed him up to 120,000, still short of his returning stack but moving in the right direction.
