Blom Quickly Back in the Hi-Lo Streets
One of the most notable players to enter from the start is Sweden’s Viktor Blom, who’s fresh off a fourth place finish in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. Blom came into the final day as the overwhelming chip leader, but a few tough hands saw him settle for a $152,315 payday.
Blom is a Swedish poker pro famous for his legendary online cash game battles under the screen name "Isildur1." He exploded onto the scene in 2009, playing ultra-high stakes cash games and taking on the likes of Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, and Tom Dwan with a wildly aggressive style. His fearless approach quickly made him a poker legend, capable of huge swings.
With five WSOP final tables in the past two years, Blom is still hunting for his first bracelet. Will he manage to navigate his way to another final table in this event?
