Viktor "Isildur1" Blom's first week without a sponsor now is in the books and it can't be described as anything else than success. In fact, he ended up as the biggest winner online with a profit of impressive $859,582 - about $360k more than the second biggest winner, Phil "MrSweets28" Galfond.
What makes this even more impressive is that he was minus before the weekend started and then won $970k on Saturday and Sunday!
This is the biggest hand Blom played on Sunday:
"Isildur1" betted $1,640 from the button. "Jeans89" folded from the small blind ($200) and "Sauce123" raised to $4,960 from the big blind. "Isildur1" made the call. The flop came out 7

J
and "Sauce123" betted $7,808. "Isildur1" quickly re-raised to $24,800. "Sauce123" re-raised to $85,555 and "Isildur1" threw $292,620 into the pot. "Sauce123" called with his remaining $9000.

"Sauce123" 86910
The turn card was the 9 and "Sauce123" got a straight, which left Blom with only 4 outs. However, Blom had the poker gods on his side as the river card was the J, which gave him a full house and the pot of about 200k.
