Amazingly, Viktor Blom hasn’t head off to Las Vegas yet, maybe he’s going to be playing the Guangdong Asia Millions starting on the 5th of June (By the way, FTR is going to be hosting the live stream for this) before he heads out to Nevada? Whatever the case is, Viktor has been playing some serious sessions online, and that’s only good for us sitting on the virtual rail. For those of us who spend several hours of each day watching Viktor play poker, we’re going to be at a loss when he heads off to the big poker circus.
Viktor’s first action of the day was at a FLO8 heads up table against long time Isildur1 Watch regular, and man (or lady) or mystery, “SallyWoo.” Viktor only played 60 hands against the unknown felt warrior, but that didn’t stop him from losing $111,009 to the enigmatic one. We grabbed some of the action for your enjoyment, and have it for you in the video below.
Most of Viktor’s day was spent playing 2-7TD, with action against returning Isildur Watch players, Alex “Alexonmoon” Luneau, Gus Hansen, and another unknown warrior of the felt, “Kagome Kagome.” The only one to see a profit on the day was Kagome, and he/she saw a nearly $500k profit from the day, all from 2-7TD.
Viktor on the other hand did not have a good day at the 2-7TD tables, and started off by losing $241,697 from his first 286 hands. It can be argued that this was a sign that it wasn’t going to be Viktor’s day, but he kept on playing, and while he kept losing, it was a much slower pace. Over the next 670 hands of 2-7TD his losses only totalled $67,909, which might be more than most of us will earn in a year, but isn’t really an unreasonable loss at the stakes he was playing. We did manage to see some of the bigger hands of the day, and have a little video package for you below.
The only other action of Viktor’s Sunday was action against yet another Isildur Watch regular, Kyle “KPR16” Ray. For the first time for the day, it went in the favour of our favourite Swede, and the very short 38 hand session ended with Viktor winning $20,990.
Viktor’s Sunday finished with him down $399,625, taking his yearly cash game profit total down to $2,556,266.
It seems that Viktor had a bad day at the office, but the only really bad loss was his first session of 2-7TD, the rest of the day was so-so. He may have lost to Sally, but the sample was so small that nothing can be read into it. I wasn’t able to see all of Viktor’s hands in the bigger spots, so I don’t know if he was playing badly, or running into a cold deck. either way, he decided to cut and run, which to be honest, I’m in favour of with Viktor right now. His worst enemy is Viktor Blom on a downward spiral, and if leaving a game after a bad start is a way to stop that side of personality coming out to play, I’m all in favour.
