Isildur1 Back at PokerStars with $368k Winning Day

Pete - Saturday, December 19, 2015, Written by- Saturday, December 19, 2015, High stakes reports

After playing in some big PLO games over at Microgaming over the last few weeks, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom was finally back at the biggest PLO tables at PokerStars yesterday, having only made fleeting appearances at the world's biggest poker site of late - and his return to the big-time proved a success as he made a killing at the $200/$400 deep with ante tables, ending the day up $368.3k

After small wins at the $300/$600 2-7 TD $100/$200 PLO tables, Blom moved on to the $200/$400 PLO tables early yesterday afternoon. His first heads-up opponent was d2themfi and the pair played for two hours, with Isildur1 walking away a $135k winner.

Next up was Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky for another multi-table heads-up $200/$400 match. Isildur1 got off to a flying start, opening up a $150k lead within the first fifteen minutes of the match. However, a resilient Sulsky fought back well and over the next 2.5 hours we saw some entertaining high-variance poker. Isildur1 took a big lead towards the end as he edged towards a $200k lead - but in the final stages Sauce once again hit back with some big pots to end the session down $65k.

Isildur1's final victim of the day was another of his regular PLO opponents, cumicon. The pair started off playing heads-up at the same time as Isildur1 started playing Sauce123, with the Swedish pro winning $78k from a one hour session. The pair met again a couple of hours later and ended up playing 3 tables for another couple of hours, with Blom adding another $108k to his profits - ending the day up $368.3k - putting him up close to $4m this year at PokerStars.

Isildur1 also won both the day's biggest pot during his last sessions with cumicon:

Unlucky one for cumicon here as he rivers the second nuts, only to run into Isildur1's nut-flush - $147.9k pot

Isildur1 makes top two pair on the turn and entices his opponent to bet out with a flush draw and a pair - Isildur1 raises him all in and the flush misses on two runs of the river - $143.8k pot to Isildur1

There were no other big winners yesterday, with spaise411 second on the daily highstakes leaderboard with a $43.7 win after some good mixed-game results.
