Viktor Blom the Big Loser This Weekend

It was a busy weekend at the high stakes tables on PokerStars, but one that Viktor “Isildur1” Blom would probably like to forget.   Back at the online tables, the Swedish PokerStars Pro found himself in a long session that saw several big pots, and unfortunately for Blom, most of them were being shipped to his opponent.  Blom dropped more than $370k in one 2,300 session of $100/$200 PLO, and another $292k in another 1,800 hand session just a day later.  He was able to make some of that back up, but ended the weekend with a $488k net loss.

Here are some of the big hands that Blom was involved in this weekend:

Jeans89 fades the straight and flush draws of Isildur1, going runner-runner to boat and win this $109k pot.

RaiseOnce flops top pair and turns trips vs. Isildur1’s flopped bottom two in this HU hand.

Isildur1 gets there on the nut flush draw taking this $98k HU pot vs. refaelamit.  

Sauce123 fades the flush draw and lands this $96k pot vs. Isildur1

Isildur1 flops a straight vs. Sauce123’s flopped set and holds to take this $91k pot

Patpatman Heats Up vs Ilari Fin, Ville Wahlbeck

Newcomers to the highstakes online poker scene are always fun to watch, and yesterday seemed to be the coming out party for patpatman.

Playing primarily $100/$200 6-max PLO and $50/$100 6-max PLO, patpatman has seen his overall earnings eclipse the $500k mark since arriving on PokerStars just a month ago (where he also won the biggest hold'em pot in January). Yesterday's sessions yielded some great results for the newcomer, highlighted by these six figure pots:

1. Patpatman rivers quads as his As-Kc-3d-Ad holds vs. Ilari Fin and Ville Wahlbeck
2. Patpatman flops a set, and turns quads this time to get 3 streets of value.
3. All it takes is two pair as patpatman gets some more off of Ilari Sahamies.
4. LuckyGump flops a set to crack aces and turns a boat to fade the flush draw.
5. Heads up with Ilari FIN, patpatman flops two pair and cracks aces for another big pot

After all was said, the big winner was patpatman who ended this session +$298,968.45, but ended up negative on another session to end the evening up $166k on the night. Alexey 'LuckyGump' Makarov also had a good evening, finishing out his long grind with ...
