Viktor ‘Isildur1' Blom's reputation may have limped a little in the past few days at PokerStars, but on November 29 Wednesday, his poker prowess was definitely on fire, burning other poker pros' strategies and skills down to the ground as he walked away clutching the top prize of $340,000 from the invitation-only high-stakes $200/$400 PLO cash game at Sam Trickett's High Roller Room.

Wow it seems, that Isildur was on fire at the moment. Unbelievable what up and downs he have in the last years, but at the moment he have really a good run. I hope we can see some of his games in poker tv shows next time.
Victor "Isildur1" is of course a very good player so I'm not at all surprised that he won another tournament ... of course recently there was not much information about him but here again interesting information and again winning ... I congratulate him on winning and good luck
Lol, 230,000$ loss must be big for Trickett, unless of course he was selling actions but that's usually for multi table tournaments. I know some cash games players do it too. Sure Trickett won 20 millions but only a part of that reached his pockets.
Blom is not that good in my opinion. That's why all the other pros want his money. But when he's lucky he can win big, and then lose 10x that in the next session

That was a nice tournament and result. Being it Omaha plo makes it an interesting game, even to watch as much as you can of it. Invitational only that lasted more than seven hours. He managed to recover his game and won it.

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom is one of the best online poker players. He is young, he has some skidding but now he's much more mature. He will have many beautiful performances in the future. Viktor has talent and is able to play a lot live poker but i do not know how much he will want this. We will see in the next few years.

well I guess its always a good night when you increase your bankroll by 340000 after a nights work... jeez I can only imagine if this sort of amount can be sustained on a daily (or in this case nightly) basis... ~120 millions per year

Yes it is so hard to tjink how people feel when they win so much money in one night so many good emotions and of course when you lose such big money you are very sad and I think playing from this big money is not good thing, better invest this money in real estate or buy some stocks

Posted by braulio46: yeah take money from leon
Any professional or semi professional poker player should earn money from Leon Tsoukernik. This is not a shame is a job, a sport, a hobby etc. and leon earns money from other players with his casino or with his games. The most beautiful thing is when you win and you're retiring to enjoy that money.

ha ha ha great one dule-vu.. a 40K reload is just like buying a pack of cigarettes, fcukin awesome when you have so much cash sitting in your account. all I have at the moment and probably in my all past and future is a mere 40 cents reload, which kinda makes me not eligible for these kind of games where 40K reloads are common

These people have a different sense of money. And they are still low on the ladder. Imagine all the billionaires Would gates rethink twice before spending somewhere 40k USD you think? I really doubt that
