Poker Players | estimated reading time
2013. March 12.
The top two players of the March online high stakes money list, Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom and Ben ‘Bttech86‘ Tollerene ran into a clash this weekend. Blom cut his opponent for over $700,000 but did not stop there.
The online high stakes action of the last weekend on FTP was no ordinary deal: Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom bagged a total profit of $1,308,481. Before the session, the Swede pro was runner-up on the March profit list with $1,141,063, right behind Ben ‘Bttech86‘ Tollerene ($1,549,820). On Sunday, the two of them clashed at the tables, completely rearranging the top of the list: the American lost $702,879 to ‘Isildur1’.

Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom

Blom started his devastating assault of the day against Kyle ‘KPR16’ Ray: primarily as a result of their session on the $1,500/$3,000 27TD and $2,000/$4,000 FLO8 tables, ‘KPR16’ ended up the biggest loser of the day with a total loss of $766,392.

Tollerene came next on the $400/$800 PLO heads-up tables. Four of the biggest pots of the day were built here, three out of which went to ‘Isildur1’. The greatest amount to be pushed in the middle was $300,549.

From the Button, ‘Isildur1’ raised to $2,700, ‘Bttech86‘ 3-bet to $8,400 and Blom called. The flop came {#}6 {#}4 {#}A , ‘Bttech86‘ opened to $13,680, ‘Isildur1’ called and the turn came {#}A . Tollerene bet $35,568 and Blom called for the {#}4 river, where ‘Bttech86‘ bet $92,476 and ‘Isildur1’ shoved with $137,210 to see bigstack Tollerene fold his hand.

It went all the way to the showdown in the second biggest hand of the day (pot: $288,765). ‘Isildur1’ attacked once again with a $2,700 open raise from the Button, ‘Bttech86‘ 3-bet to $8,400, Blom 4-bet to $25,500, Tollerene 5-bet to $76,800 and ‘Isildur1’ called. The flop came {#}8 {#}8 {#}T , ‘Bttech86‘ went all-in with his remaining $67,583 and ‘Isildur1’ called.

Bttech86: {#}A {#}A {#}2 {#}2
Isildur1: {#}J {#}Q {#}K {#}T

Turn: {#}3
River: {#}J

Blom had the nuts with a flush.

Shortly thereafter, the session was over with a laconic farewell:

Isildur1 - Bttech86 - Farewell

The Swede went on to play a shorter session against Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan as well for a total daily profit of $1,308,481. This launched him to the top of both the monthly ($2,449,544, 13,185 hands) and the annual profit list ($3,364,017, 73,512 hands).

‘Isildur1’ kicked off this year in a sensational way, building a profit of $5,159.380 by 12 January. Getting into a downswing, he seemed prone to lose some or all of that but he came back to winning again in March. Online high stakes action is very likely to bear his mark in the following days, promising an excellent show for the Blom-enthusiasts.

Isildur1: $2,449,544 (13,185 hands; FTP)
