The upswing of online poker god-level player Viktor "Isildur1" Blom came to an abrupt end

Post by Bookmaker »

Player Blom collected a staggering $1.3 million last Tuesday alone. Most of these profits came from a showdown with another well-known online poker player, Phil "OMG Clay Aiken" Galfond. However, Galfond adjusted his mindset and turned things around in Sunday's battle with Isidur1 to win back a powerful $1.07 million.

HighStakesDB.com recorded some of the highlights from Sunday's showdown:

One round: Before the flop, both sides made a fierce raise, and Galfond turned Isidur1 around by using the final card to make the biggest "gourd" and win a prize pool of $263,600.
Sometime: Isidur1 fought for the river card and ultimately failed to wait for the card he wanted, allowing Galfond to win a prize pool worth $226,800 without suspense.
One round: Isidur1 may need to cool off as his straight is beaten by Galfond's larger straight, which has a prize pool of $220,500.

Galfond also made more than $1.6 million in profit through last week's upswing.
