Now you see it happens also to the very best in live games, so stop talking about rigged when you lose a hand against 4 outer with 100 hands sample Like Cates I don't really like Blom, I also don't like his style. But he is one of the best in the world right now, especially when it comes to heads up I'd like to see him playing HU against my favourite player, Chris Ferguson. I like Daniel, but for me Jesus vs. Isildur would be even bigger.

I definately agree it was a bad beat for Isildur1. Many say that bad beats happens only in online poker and rigged live poker. I'm glad this happend to a such known player on a very official occassion to prove them wrong. Poker it also has a luck part which usually translates to bad beats just like in this case. On the other hand i remember Viktor Blom already said in one of his first interviews that he is not a good live player, he preffers online poker due to the much larger number of hands and multitabling you can do on online poker. I also think he should stick to the online poker, although it's a very rare presence nowadays on Pokerstars tables. As for a heads up i would like to see him against Scott Palmer live, they already played heads up online on superstars showdown and Scott won the competition.
