On March 17, 2018 Saturday, at a PokerStars high stakes online poker action, it was Viktor ‘Isildur1' Blom who managed to grab the top spot on the leaderboard with a whopping $159,576 win after emerging victorious at the 2-7 Triple Draw tables.
The first win of the day for the 27-year-old Swedish poker pro came in the early afternoon from the $100/$200 PLO tables where he won $17,000+ after just five minutes of heads-up action against Grazvis1. He was then absent at the tables for four hours, and went back online in the early evening where he battled against donthnrmepls, his regular Triple Draw rival, at the $1,000/$2,000 tables.
At the Patientia II table, the two played 307 hands for an hour and 40 minutes, with Blom ending up with a $55,608 win. After a few minutes break, the action resumed at the Roehia table where they played 141 hands, with Blom still leaving his mark and winning further $81,388 to add to his bankroll.
Before Blom decided to wrap his day up, he topped it with another Triple Draw win, but this time at the lower $200/$400 tables, in which he beat ‘spidey_85' after 40 minutes of heads-up play for a nice $8,796 profit.
Biggest pot of the day
Actually, the biggest pot of the day came from a heads-up match at the $200/$400 NLHE tables, the showdown between Linus ‘LLinusLLove' Loeliger and Timofey ‘Trueteller' Kuznetsov. They battled for 3 hours and during the match it was Trueteller who took down the day's biggest pot.
It's a great call by Trueteller with top pair on the river to win the $98,110 pot.
On March 19, 2018 Monday, the day's biggest winner was none other than fan fave Isildur1 who reached an awesome $170,000+ level, before ending up a $46,000 loser for the day. He started the day pretty great against German opponent RaulGonzales and won $135,000 in the morning to and fro the $1k/$2k 2-7 Triple Draw and 8-Game tables.
In the early afternoon, Blom lost $65,000 to ‘RG' on another mixed game session, but after a change of table and a short break, he then was able to find his groove and managed to get a $130,000 lead in their next mixed-game session that late afternoon.
However, it seemed Lady Luck wasn't on Blom's side that time, because RaulGonzales ended the day with a profit of $16,750, whereas Blom lost a total of $46,000 (including his PLO losses).
