Even though many of the poker world's biggest high stakes stars are in Vegas at the moment, there are still some decent high stakes games running online. Yesterday, for example, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom took on Rui "PepperoniF" Cao in heads-up match of Pot-Limit Omaha at PokerStars. The game was quite even at first, but after about 1000 hands had been played Isildur1 had full control over the game. [...] Read more » High Stakes: Swingy day for Viktor "Isildur1" Blom

he could do himself a big favor if he can call it a day after having a big profit rather than waiting to lose it all and then stopping. but still profit is profit

Viktor Blom doing what Viktor Blom does best, high stakes up and down, playing the best for totally sick amounts of money and often blowing huge gains. Curious to see what the next five years hold in store for him! Either the best in the world or cleaning windshields under an overpass. Can anyone else use $271K?!!

There isnt any real high stakes player who believes the power of money. They believe in their power, and they dont care for what money that can win or loose with the game. Its just for saying that those are the highest values played, so are playing at the top, but the value of money doesnt means more than this... for them.
He's a gambler, that's it! Sometimes he moves all in with just a K high flush draw and a pair in PLO, he's so agressive... If you run good against him you sure will gain a lot of money

I tend to agree with you on this one but only when he is tiltted, like today for example he is simply throwing money away to andreas torgbergsen...
As i'm typing this they are playing 4 tables of pot limit omaha heads up and skjervoy has almost 150.000 dollars on all four tables, and the buy in is 10.000 dollars so you can imahgine the profit so far
Lets hope viktor will stop in time or he'll lose more than he won on the last sessions against rui cao and in the last superstar showdown
