With earnings of $2.4 million in the past week, some railbirds thought that Viktor ‘isildur1’ Blom’s current super-hot heater may be about to cool down, but the young Swedish poker pro proved them wrong Monday, taking another $425,000 home from the virtual high stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker after playing mainly 2-7 Triple Draw to Omaha 8.
Much of it came from Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond when the two clashed over 351 hands on the $250/$500 Pot-Limit Omaha tables, reports the High Stakes Data Base website, which noted that Blom’s last 24-hour earnings had exceeded a million dollars.
The question is: how long can Blom continue to sustain his quite extraordinary winning streak?
