He is dedicated to SCOOP this year. On one side, I think many people feel disappointed for watching such a star going for tourneys like this (we can consider it a small one for Blom, comparing to what he is used to), like if it was unfair competition. But, on the other side, I think he is also cleaning the image of the general poker pros, which have recently lost a lot of big tourneys to unknown players. Lets see how many more will he be able to take.

Fair play to him. I think he will final table at least 2 other events, if he bothers to enter. Taking down those events is like a warm up to him. I would like to bet he wins one of the bigguns at the WSOP this year, what about the main event?

The conspiracy theorist in all of us says, he works for pokerstars, therefore somehow it is rigged. And I'm sure it's possible - someone with the security stuff could easily tell him peoples hole cards.
However, in reality it is far less likely this is the case.
A poker site has a reputation to uphold (unless its FTP). EVERYONE and their unborn child knows what happened with that one - nobody wants a repeat.
Pokerstars really has little competition in terms of being the number 1 site - it doesn't need gimmicks to improve its image.
So lets give credit where its due - two monster take downs is just sick no matter whos playing.
If anyone would bother to read my first posts I was a rigtard. I even accused a guy called CetOO from BRM of cheating at the tables just because I was losing.
There is no way Pokerstars would risk meddling with the game play in ANY way to aid a team pro player. You have to remember this guy is the best online player in the world! It's like Brazil v Scotland in football. Brazil have the talent and they very rarely lose to us. Isildur is Brazil

Posted by remco2504: Hope you right but i doubt it Seems very fishy especially if he wins anymore So many good players play and he wins ....twice already !
other people not pstars pros have won a few SCOOP or WCOOP titles or maybe they bought the chosen one package and thats why they are good
I am just curious does it not strike you as a little strange that alot of the people who crush games online are often great live players too I know its strange but its often true
