Online Poker: Viktor Blom Wins $261K Monster PotSwede Has A Solid Week At The Nosebleeds On Full Tilt |
|
A lot of intense action at the nosebleed pot-limit Omaha tables on Full Tilt Poker resulted in a crazy week for Viktor “Isildur1” Blom, but he managed to finish in the black $121,000.
That is according to data from HighstakesDB.
The Swede played more than 5,200 hands in the seven-day stretch, which was comprised of 34 unique sessions, according to the tracking. There were huge swings like usual for Blom. This year, Blom is still down more than $1.2 million.
Blom was able to secure a win on the week thanks to apparently profitable matches against Russian poker pro Alex “PostFlopAction” Kostritsyn. The largest hand of the past week occurred in a heads-up $300-$600 pot-limit Omaha battle between Blom and Kostritsyn.
Here’s the hand: Blom had the button and raised to $1,800. Kostritsyn three-bet to $5,400, and Blom four-bet to $16,200. Kostritsyn elected to make the call.
The flop fell 10
9
4.
Kostritsyn checked, and Blom checked behind. The fireworks were still to come.
The turn brought the 5
, and Kostritsyn decided to bet $32,400.
Blom called, and the river was the 10.
Kostritsyn checked, and Blom shoved for around $82,000. Kostritsyn called.
Blom tabled the A
Q A 10 for trip tens that were made on the river. Kostritsyn mucked his hand without showing, and Blom raked in the massive $261,672 hand.
It was likely that Kostritsyn was unable to lay down his hand because a lot of the draws had missed and Blom could have easily had one of those busted draws.
Blom took another six-figure pot in their session at almost the exact same time as the above-mentioned monster took place. In the other hand, Blom raked in $113,000 with the K Q 8 J after making runner-runner flush on a 9 8 3 2 6 board. He got paid off on the river.
Kostritsyn did sort of get the last laugh by winning more than $200,000 over at PokerStars over the seven days, which made him a bigger winner during the time span than Blom. Kostritsyn’s profits on PokerStars were the most for any one account on the Internet since last Friday. His loss of around $50,000 on Full Tilt made him a roughly $150,000 overall winner on the week.
