Saturday May 18,2013 : THE UNFLAPPABLE MR. BLOM IN ANOTHER BIG POKER WIN (Update)
Whether on a heater or a cooler, Isildur1 never fails to entertain.
Mere days ago, Swedish online high stakes poker pro Viktor ‘Isildur1' Blom was on a monumental downswing, dropping $627,533 in a single 2,138 hand session
Typically, on Thursday night he was back, firing on all cylinders and taking a series of skilled opponents for almost a million dollars over 3,435 hands.
Playing on the high stakes PLO and FLO8 tables at Full Tilt Poker bonus code, Blom clashed with Patrik Antonius, KPR16, Sam Trickett, Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene and Jens “Ingenious89” Kyllonen, according to High Stakes Data Base, building up steam until he took on Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond in several heads-up $500/$1,000 PLO CAP matches.
It was an up and down competition with each player doing well at different stages, but Blom emerged the better off, leaving Galfond $742,000 poorer.
Blom was the night's biggest winner on $991,700 in profit, taking his profit for 2013 thus far to $5.5 million.
