SCOOP 2012 on PokerStars by PokerCollectif
If a name is apparent from these SCOOP, although hardly initiated, it is Viktor Blom aka Isildur. We knew very strong Isildur in cash game, but you could doubt his skills in tournaments. His performance of the last days will be enough to silence the gossips.
The number 2 of the SCOOP event (Hold'em no limit $ 215) attracted 8240 players (including Isildur) which has grinde his way to the final table, which is already a feat in any. A few hours later, it's heads up against RaisingRay91 and eventually win his all-in with AJ vs the Raising K8s. For this performance, Isildur will be credited $ 247,200 to his account.
But it will not stop there.
24 hours later, he enrolled at the number 3 to $530 Event (a Hold'em Tournament ' no limit, 6max rebuy) and finished 1 of 486 players. For this another performance, Isildur will be credited with $ 160,000 to his account! The second position went to Ruxandescu who won $ 118,400.
Hope for him that he will not squander its forture too quickly on the high stakes tables of cash games. As a laugh, Daniel Cates (jungleman) said in an interview this week that according to him, Viktor Blom was one of the best players in heads up to the world and that it was the the most tough opponent he has faced. He also wants to take his revenge soon against Isildur who had beaten him little on to remind the last SuperStar showdown organized by PokerStars. In the words of jungleman, it is more a question of pride and ego than money, him who won 1.5 M online since black friday.
