It seems Viktor Blom is a man on a mission, and that mission is to try and win every single dollar on Full Tilt Poker. If effort alone is going to do it, Viktor seems to being going in  the right direction. He’s been playing bigger than usual sessions over the past week, and if anything he’s been more in control of his game than I’ve seen for months.

Viktor’s long Monday started off with NLHE at the $500/1000 $30k Cap heads up tables. He was playing against “Trueteller,” “SanIker,” and “riyyc225,” all for short-ish sessions, and we didn’t manage to get any footage worth showing you. Over these session Viktor racked up 254 hands, and lost $66,016.

Blom also played a small amount of 2-7TD, about 75 hands or so, but the gods of low draw poker were not smiling on Viktor. He ended up dropping $119,028, with most of it apparently going to fellow Full Tilt Pro, Gus Hansen. Again, we don’t have any footage of this short session, we just weren’t quick enough to get it.

Including an 81 hand losing session of heads up FLO8 to “SallyWoo” for $57,980 Viktor was down $243,024 at this point of his day, and no-one would blame him for quitting, but a 411 hand day doesn’t seem to sit right with Blom, and he ploughed on, this time playing FLO8 at the 6-Max tables. Sat here was Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius, Kyle “KPR16” Ray and a new face in “the angleman.”

Viktor played 417 hands here, and earned himself a $94,362 profit. with most of it seeming to come from Antonius, and the new guy. We have some of the action from this battle in the video below:

 


 

Next up is Cap PLO, not at the heights of $500/$1000, but at $200/$400 against Viktor’s PLO nemesis, Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene. The played 3 tables at one, and put in some pretty serious volume. In just under two and half hours, they played out 974 hands, with Viktor being the one on the positive side of the graph with a $95,566 profit. We managed to grab some of the action, and have some of the capped pots for you below.

 


 

The last action for the day was back at the FLO8 tables, this time heads up against Kyle Ray. Split over two tables they fought for just over an hour. After 406 hands, Viktor had again won out in a heads up battle against Ray, and was richer to the tune of $118,896.

We have some of the action, and have nice package for you below.

 


 

All of this back and forth left Viktor with a small $65,800 profit for the day, enough to take his yearly profits back up to $2,425,627.

 

Yesterday show’s Viktor’s work ethic we have known about for ages, combining with his improved ability to control his losses. The beginning of his day couldn’t have gone much worse, ut rather than spiralling out of control and setting fire to his bankroll, Viktor played his way back, and ended up not only recouping his losses, but turning a small profit at the same time.

I don’t think we would have seen this at the beginning of the year, and Viktor has really come a long way, but he also has a long way to go to control his inner degenerate gambler.
