His action during the rush has been against some of the best players in the world. He has crushed the likes of Phil Galfond and Ben “Sauce123” Sulsky. One of his largest pots of the period was against Sulsky at $400-$800 uncapped pot-limit Omaha.
The hand began with Blom sitting with close to $360,000 and Sulsky holding $214,000.
With $16,800 already in the middle on a A
10 8
board, Sulsky checked, and Blom fired $8,800. Sulsky called on the draw-heavy flop.
The turn brought the 2.
Sulsky checked again, and Blom bet $26,400. Sulsky called.
The river was the 6, and Sulsky bet $68,500. Blom put him all in for about $102,000 more. Sulsky called and mucked when Blom exposed the 8 A 7 7, raking in $428,485.
When Blom stopped play on Wednesday, the past 24 hours had netted him well over $1 million.
In addition to crushing pot-limit Omaha, Blom has been running extremely well at limit Omaha eight-or-better and limit deuce-to-seven triple draw.
