Swedish Poker Player Viktor Blom On a Roll

This week's news from the virtual tables inevitably contain the name of Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom, the young Swedish poker pro, who won nearly $565,000 in one 1,536-hand session playing impressively well against the selection of renowned rivals. Blom played PLO and 2-7 Triple Draw on the Full Tilt Poker virtual high-stakes tables betting amounts of $1,500 and $3,000 to defeat the quality opponents including Alexander “PostflopAction” Kostritsyn who left the game as the biggest loser. The poker experts are now waiting to see if the winning streak will continue for the young professional given his unpredictable big and bold style of play. Other players' handsome paychecks earned this week remain in the shadow of the Blom's major winnings. Yet, according to the High Stakes Database, the 2012 biggest Pokerstars earner Ben Sulsky, Alex Luneau and Erik Sagestrom also took home six-figure amounts after the $100,000 betting sessions played on Full Tilt website.
