Viktor Blom

One of the most famous poker players in the world and Team PokerStars Pro is Daniel Negreanu. Viktor Blom is an up-and-coming superstar in the game who has been speculated as being the man behind the mask of new Team PokerStars Pro "Isildur1". Whether or not that's true, we don't know (but the identity of "Isildur1" will be revealed January 8 here at PCA). What we do know is that Blom just took a lot of chips from Mr. Negreanu.

Negreanu fired 12,500 with the flop reading {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Blom made the call and the turn card came the {Q-Hearts}. Negreanu checked and Blom bet 35,000. Negreanu made the call.

The river completed the board with the {K-Clubs} and Negreanu checked again. Blom fired 87,500. After a little bit, Negreanu said that he wished he knew if Blom watched poker on TV. Negreanu then tanked for a bit more before making the call.

Blom tabled the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for two pair and Negreanu shook his head, sending his cards into the muck.
