The Railbird: Blom Wins $1.4 Million in Full Day of Sunday Action
It��s safe to say that Viktor ��Isildur1�� Blom is online poker��s most entertaining player. He��s frequently either winning or losing millions of dollars, and this past Sunday it was the former as he won $1.4 million.
Blom, who won the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker Main Event #43-H for $1,096,200, actually won $1,226,796 in 4,342 hands over 29 sessions on Sunday, but he added a bit more after the server rolled over into early Monday morning.
Blom started the day by winning $150,000 in two hours from Isaac ��luvtheWNBA�� Haxton at the $500/$1,000 CAP no-limit hold��em tables. After winning $49,000 at the 2-7 Triple Draw tables, Blom took to fixed-limit Omaha hi/lo where he won $240,000 in the first three and a half hours. Over the next 80 minutes, Blom caught fire and won $423,000 more against the likes of Kyle ��KPR16�� Ray, Gus Hansen and Phil ��Polarizing�� Ivey.
Blom didn��t stop there. Here are some other highlights from his Sunday run:
- Won $73,000 in 40 minutes of $400/$800 no-limit hold��em against ��Sanlker.�� The two then switched to $500/$1,000 CAP NLHE and Blom won another $212,000.
- Won $52,000 from Ivey in just 25 hands of 2-7 Triple Draw.
- A six-hour rematch against Haxton saw Blom add another $110,000 to his bankroll.
- Won $70,000 from ��SallyWoo�� at the $2,000/$4,000 FLO8 tables in early Monday morning.
