We’ve not been seeing much of Viktor Blom recently, as the sessions he’s been putting in have been small, and pretty inconsequential in the win/loss stakes. Viktor’s yearly cash game profit line was standing at $2,907,700 before the action yesterday.
So, apart from winning over $1 Million in the SCOOP Main Event, Viktor’s been having a quiet time of it. The cash game has been a small thing on his radar, and with the WSOP coming up soon, we may need to take a break from the Watch while Viktor heads over to Vegas.
Viktor started off the day with some 2-7TD action, and as usual it was at the nosebleeds.
Viktor played 295 hands of action across 3 tables, against “Kagome Kagome” and fellow Full Tilt Professional Gus Hansen. Viktor managed to eek out a profit of $21,690, with most of that coming from Kagome. We have some of the action for you in the video below.
Next up was a jaunt over to the FLO8 tables, including a heads up matchup against Kyle “KPR16” Ray. Viktor played 178 hands against one of the more regular players we see in the Watch, and came out with a loss of $108,032, which isn’t the best result. he followed it up with some 6-Max FLO8 action, and managed to lose another $106,658 over 83 hands. We have some of the action from the heads up match against KPR, and have put them together in the video below.
This brought Blom’s total for Tuesday to a $193,000 loss, and his yearly profit line down to $2,714,700, which has dropped him down to third in the yearly profit lists, but this doesn’t include the money Viktor won by shipping the SCOOP Main Event on Monday.
Again, the analysis of this article is going to be a little thin, there just isn’t enough for us to look at! Viktor hasn’t been playing at the cash games that much recently, and after his win in the SCOOP, the pressure to grind has been released a little.
I’d expect Viktor to be back on the grind soon, probably hoping to rule the high stakes cash games before he heads to Vegas for the WSOP.
