High-Stakes Online Poker: Ben Sulsky, Viktor Blom Have Huge Weeks$200-$400 PLO Kind To Both Players Over Past 7 Days |
|
The past week on PokerStars featured some consistent high-stakes pot-limit Omaha action with Viktor “Isildur1” Blom and Ben “Sauce123” Sulsky sitting as the big winners with $636,620 and $837,798 in profits respectively, according to data from HighstakesDB.
The $200-$400 PLO sessions also featrued the likes of Ike Haxton, Jens “Jeans89” Kyllönen, Ronny “1-ronnyr3” Kaiser, BERRI SWEET, Phil “RaiseOnce” Ivey and JayP-AA.
BERRI SWEET was a big loser on the week, dropping $720,738 since Sunday.
It took Blom 16,317 hands to win $636,000, while it took Sulsky 7,998 to have $837,000 in winnings. Some of the action at PLO was just Blom and Sulsky battling heads-up, with the New Hampshire native getting the better of the Swede yesterday for around $270,000.
Blom began the week dropping roughly $600,000, but it was mostly one big upswing since last Friday. Sulsky’s week was more consistent, as he never had a losing session.
The largest hand of Blom and Sulsky’s head-up sessions was a pot worth $294,582.
The pot was six-bet preflop, with $38,000 from each player going into the middle before three cards hit the virtual felt. Blom held the A

Q
, while Sulsky had the K
K 10 8.
The flop fell 10 9 2.
Blom bet out pot, and Sulsky put him all in for roughly $108,000 in total. Blom called, and they elected to run it twice. The first run-out was the 8 7, giving that half to Blom with a straight, and the second run-out was the 5 5, which was safe for Sulsky’s kings.
According to Card Player’s Omaha odds calculator, Blom wins about a quarter of the time, as Sulsky had his pair beat and a significantly better drawing hand.
Thanks to a strong summer at the WSOP, Sulsky has poker winnings this year in excess of $2.8 million. Blom is up $3.3 million, all coming online.
