A player that is in the news often with his performance and wins. Nice result, he managed to overcome that huge lead the other player had. Now what silly title that was about his last call ??? Call of the century? lol. Why is that?

well yeah I really doubt this was call of the century when we put in perspective the fact that they were just playing for extra 100k, already secured 750k each. sure it was a nice read and surely heads up he had a lot more experience
I yesterday watched the final table for several hours .... it was a very interesting game ... Victor was not very aggressive and it was before he was left alone ... and then Victor was very lucky several times ... he won an ollin with a weaker card and eventually read the opponent's bluff ... very cool

I watched this event... and that last hand was soooooo sick!!! Isildur is in top in HU games... I knew that and I knew pavel didnt stand a chance... even after that cooler...flopped top set vs flopped str8, and when chip advantage was 10:1 in pavels favor... I knew viktor will come back and crush his life xD

godoy he does not always perform these performances. If you followed a little of his career you could have seen that he lost many interesting online games. Anyway Victor Blom remains a redoubtable player and it is possible in the future to be able to win a bracelet because in this moment he does not have one.

really ???? .... I'm not really following the events in the poker world .... of course that's what I see in the news but it's really a shock to me .... how can a really very strong player not have a bracelet? .... I do not understand ... maybe he does not really need him ... ... maybe

what a hell are you talking about,you have everything below video,so that why he called it!you can read it and its not my conclusion!so I will just copy last sentence: * Blom and Plesuv made a deal that secured them €750,00 each with €100,000 left to play for

pajalnick my friend, isildur1 is a player who has ravaged in full tilt or pokerstars at cash tables. He with a few hundred dollars made a few millions but in a short period of time. He was young, ambitious but after a while he managed to lose these millions. Isildur1 had the power to rise and made millions again. His story in online poker at cash tables and his talent can not be disputed. I did not refer to live tables when i posted that comment. Check his story men. You can also check his earnings in mtt in pokerstars or party poker. Now it also demonstrates its value in live tournaments but i think it will be able to win bracelets in future.

Yea and besides that statement about the deal, leaving them with only 100k to play for, along with the difference in chips they had, it was the call of the century. Some people get over excited for nothing at all

for me still this is not same decision,when you know that you have 750 K of euros in pocket and then you play only for 100 K!I know that viktor blom is crazy player and that would do something that any other player wont,but still he wouldnt call for 1 million on this cards!
Congratulations to Viktor Blom from Sweden, he once again proved that he is a very good poker player both at online and offline tables. And a real gambler, by the way! I wonder, does he play slots or bet on sports?

Wow! Huge congratulations must go out to a Swedish professional poker player Viktor Blom on taking down the tournament. And very well done to Pavel Plesuv also. Heads-up battle between Viktor Blom and Pavel Plesuv was simply incredible to watch!
