The 2020 running of the nosebleed-stakes Super High Roller Bowl tournament series was moved online to partypoker due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
Having 10 ♥ 10♣, Viktor Blom opened for $3,000 from the button; and then there was Tom Dwan, holding A ♥ K♣, three-bet to $10,000. Blom called and the flop was 5 ♦ 3♠2 ♥. Dwan raised to $15,400, Blom called. The Q ♥ appeared on the turn, and Dwan raised to $41,600. The mysterious and mystical Viktor Blom returned to the spotlight this week, putting on a dominant performance ahead of the Unibet Open Dublin.
A total of 29 events will take place as part of the inaugural SHRB Online, which runs from May 23 through June 1 and features buy-ins ranging from $10,000 all the way up to $100,000 marquee event. The series will also award rankings points to those that cash. The player who has accrued the most points after the first 27 tournaments will earn a free seat into the $3,000,000 guaranteed, $100,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em eight-max event.
The series features guaranteed prize pools for all 29 events, with more than $20 million in guaranteed prize money throughout the series. Below is a day-by-day look at the results from events 1 through 12.
Saturday, May 23 saw two $10,300 buy-in no-limit hold’em events with $500,000 guarantees take place, along with a $25,500 buy-in event with a $1,000,000 guarantee. All three events ran over the course of two days, with the champions decided on Sunday, May 24. The first tournament was an eight-max tournament that attracted a total of 76 entries to create a prize pool of $760,000. The largest share of that money was awarded to eventual champion Jans Arends (pictured above, left) of the Netherlands. He took home $216,600 as the first-ever champion of an SHRB Online event. He overcame a stacked final table that included the likes of Ben Heath (2nd – $148,200), Alex Foxen (3rd – $102,600), and 2018 Card Player Player of the Year Jake Schindler (4th – $68,400).
The second event of the series was the $1,000,000 guaranteed $25,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em eight-max super high roller. With 54 entries the guarantee was surpassed by $350,000. In the end, it was American Christopher Hunichen (pictured above, center) who emerged victorious, earning $479,250 after defeating Viktor ‘Islidur1’ Blom heads-up for the title. Blom took home $320,625 as the runner-up, a score that he backed up with a number of other big cashes later on in the week. Canadian high-roller regulars Daniel Dvoress (6th – $67,500) and Timothy Adams (7th – $57,375) both secured their first final-table finishes of the series in this event as well.

Online poker can be an extremely volatile game, even for the most skilled players. High stakes legend Viktor Blom has experienced the biggest swings in online poker history.
The Swede, who goes by the screen name “Isildur1,” has captivated the poker world with his hyper-aggressive play and fearlessness.
He’s been taking on the world’s best ever since he was a teenager and continues to be relevant on the high stakes scene today.
Many remember Blom as the poker player who came from out of nowhere to crush the top grinders on Full Tilt Poker in 2009. But he also experienced the first of many extreme downswings in the ensuing months.
Isildur1 suffered such a bad run that he was down $2.4 million at Full Tilt when the site shut down in 2012. What’s amazing about Blom, though, is that he always bounces back and is still playing in the biggest online games today.
Keep reading to find out more about the most volatile online poker player ever. I’ll discuss Blom’s origins, mysterious identity, insane introduction to high stakes poker, and what he’s been up to in recent years.How Did Viktor “Isildur1” Blom Get His Start?
Viktor Blom learned how to play poker from his older brother. He was introduced to no-limit Texas hold ‘em in middle school and played heads-up against his sibling.
The Blom brothers were hit by the poker bug after watching “Pokermiljonen,” a Swedish live tournament broadcast that ran for five seasons.
Viktor eventually taught some of his friends how to play NLHE. They’d play both during school breaks and in the evenings.
Blom and his brother did well enough to make $100, which they deposited onto an online poker site. They parlayed this into a $300 score after finishing fifth in an online tourney.
The Bloms eventually went their separate ways in poker. Viktor created the screen name “Blom90” and worked his way up the sit and go stakes.

It was in these SNG’s that Blom learned how aggression wins the game, especially in the later stages. Aggression would become a hallmark of his high stakes play.
Blom became more immersed in the poker world to the point where he was spending less time on schoolwork. Of course, it was hard to concentrate on studies when the money was rolling in.
He continued playing SNG’s, eventually working up to $210 stakes at partypoker. This was definitely a risky move when considering that he only had around a $3,000 bankroll at the time.
The risk-taking finally caught up with Blom as he busted his bankroll. Lucky for him, though, he had some Party Points and used these to grind his way back up the ladder.
The Swede continued playing online poker heavily into his college years. His swingy play also continued, as he lost a bankroll that he’d been sharing with a friend.
Blom lost so much of his own money that he couldn’t afford to pay for his rent. Viktor’s parents wanted him to move back home at this point.
But he convinced them to let him stay in school, provided he get a job. Viktor never got a job, though, and took one more shot at the game he loved.Blom Begins Crushing iPoker Network
After suffering through horrific downswings that put him in danger of having to leave school, Blom started experiencing some of his greatest poker successes.
He grinded his way up to a $15,000 bankroll on partypoker. He then took $10k of this amount and deposited it onto the iPoker Network.
Blom started his new journey in 200NL cash games, specializing in heads-up real money poker cash games.Viktor Blom Twitter
Viktor’s volatile play continued, though, as he lost the $10k and had to reload his account with the remaining $5k. This was it: His money was all on the table once again.Viktor Blom Net Worth
The good news for Blom is that he finally found his groove and began experiencing success at 200NL. He earned enough money to make some withdrawals and pay his bills.
Blom also built his bankroll to the point where he felt confident moving up to 400NL. It didn’t take long before he was progressing through the cash stakes.
First, he went up to 600NL, 800NL, and so forth until reaching $10/$20 NLHE. All of this was a big relief for a poker player who’d lost lots of money in the previous three months.
Viktor had some difficulty at the 2000NL games and his bankroll took a hit. But he eventually conquered these games and built his bankroll to $300,000.
Blom would later work his way up to the $25/$50 and $50/$100 limits, where he faced off against some of the iPoker Network’s top online poker players. Despite the tougher competition, Blom won $1.7 million in just two weeks.
The only problem now, though, was that few iPoker players were willing to give him any action. This left Viktor needing a new spot to play online poker.Isildur1 Becomes a Star on Full Tilt Poker and Crushes the RegsViktor Blom Net Worth Tankanza
Despite his success on the iPoker Network, Blom was still a relative unknown when he moved to Full Tilt Poker in September of 2009. But it wouldn’t take long for him to make his presence felt.
Using the screen name “Isildur1”—which comes from a World of Warcraft character—Blom played well enough to where he felt confident taking a shot at $500/$1,000 stakes.
This was an intimidating move when considering that the site’s best online poker players like Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan, Cole South, and Brian Townsend resided here. But Blom proved that he was more than capable of competing against and even beating these famed grinders.
Isildur1’s first opponent was Haseeb Qureshi, whom he met at $100/$200 stakes. Blom won nearly $500,000 off Qureshi and moved up to $200/$400 and $500/$1,000 NLHE tables.
Here, he played against Antonius, South, and Townsend, suffering a combined $1 million loss to the trio.
Undeterred, Isildur1 made a comeback against South and Townsend by winning $2 million off them in October 2009.
Isildur1 also multi-tabled against Dwan on six simultaneous NLHE tables. Blom wrecked one of the game’s elite players to the tune of $4 million.
Next, he challenged Antonius again and won $1.6 million off the Finn. Isildur1’s winnings peaked at nearly $6 million by mid-November.
Naturally, the poker world was buzzing about the mysterious player who was already crashing top online players just months after appearing on Full Tilt.
Antonius called Isildur1 an “extremely dangerous” poker player who always forces opponents to make tough decisions.
Ilari Sahamies questioned Blom’s mentality when considering that he was multi-tabling against the world’s best.

Online poker can be an extremely volatile game, even for the most skilled players. High stakes legend Viktor Blom has experienced the biggest swings in online poker history.
The Swede, who goes by the screen name “Isildur1,” has captivated the poker world with his hyper-aggressive play and fearlessness.
He’s been taking on the world’s best ever since he was a teenager and continues to be relevant on the high stakes scene today.
Many remember Blom as the poker player who came from out of nowhere to crush the top grinders on Full Tilt Poker in 2009. But he also experienced the first of many extreme downswings in the ensuing months.
Isildur1 suffered such a bad run that he was down $2.4 million at Full Tilt when the site shut down in 2012. What’s amazing about Blom, though, is that he always bounces back and is still playing in the biggest online games today.
Keep reading to find out more about the most volatile online poker player ever. I’ll discuss Blom’s origins, mysterious identity, insane introduction to high stakes poker, and what he’s been up to in recent years.How Did Viktor “Isildur1” Blom Get His Start?
Viktor Blom learned how to play poker from his older brother. He was introduced to no-limit Texas hold ‘em in middle school and played heads-up against his sibling.
The Blom brothers were hit by the poker bug after watching “Pokermiljonen,” a Swedish live tournament broadcast that ran for five seasons.
Viktor eventually taught some of his friends how to play NLHE. They’d play both during school breaks and in the evenings.
Blom and his brother did well enough to make $100, which they deposited onto an online poker site. They parlayed this into a $300 score after finishing fifth in an online tourney.
The Bloms eventually went their separate ways in poker. Viktor created the screen name “Blom90” and worked his way up the sit and go stakes.

It was in these SNG’s that Blom learned how aggression wins the game, especially in the later stages. Aggression would become a hallmark of his high stakes play.
Blom became more immersed in the poker world to the point where he was spending less time on schoolwork. Of course, it was hard to concentrate on studies when the money was rolling in.
He continued playing SNG’s, eventually working up to $210 stakes at partypoker. This was definitely a risky move when considering that he only had around a $3,000 bankroll at the time.
The risk-taking finally caught up with Blom as he busted his bankroll. Lucky for him, though, he had some Party Points and used these to grind his way back up the ladder.
The Swede continued playing online poker heavily into his college years. His swingy play also continued, as he lost a bankroll that he’d been sharing with a friend.
Blom lost so much of his own money that he couldn’t afford to pay for his rent. Viktor’s parents wanted him to move back home at this point.
But he convinced them to let him stay in school, provided he get a job. Viktor never got a job, though, and took one more shot at the game he loved.Blom Begins Crushing iPoker Network
After suffering through horrific downswings that put him in danger of having to leave school, Blom started experiencing some of his greatest poker successes.
He grinded his way up to a $15,000 bankroll on partypoker. He then took $10k of this amount and deposited it onto the iPoker Network.
Blom started his new journey in 200NL cash games, specializing in heads-up real money poker cash games.Viktor Blom Twitter
Viktor’s volatile play continued, though, as he lost the $10k and had to reload his account with the remaining $5k. This was it: His money was all on the table once again.Viktor Blom Net Worth
The good news for Blom is that he finally found his groove and began experiencing success at 200NL. He earned enough money to make some withdrawals and pay his bills.
Blom also built his bankroll to the point where he felt confident moving up to 400NL. It didn’t take long before he was progressing through the cash stakes.
First, he went up to 600NL, 800NL, and so forth until reaching $10/$20 NLHE. All of this was a big relief for a poker player who’d lost lots of money in the previous three months.
Viktor had some difficulty at the 2000NL games and his bankroll took a hit. But he eventually conquered these games and built his bankroll to $300,000.
Blom would later work his way up to the $25/$50 and $50/$100 limits, where he faced off against some of the iPoker Network’s top online poker players. Despite the tougher competition, Blom won $1.7 million in just two weeks.
The only problem now, though, was that few iPoker players were willing to give him any action. This left Viktor needing a new spot to play online poker.Isildur1 Becomes a Star on Full Tilt Poker and Crushes the RegsViktor Blom Net Worth Tankanza
Despite his success on the iPoker Network, Blom was still a relative unknown when he moved to Full Tilt Poker in September of 2009. But it wouldn’t take long for him to make his presence felt.
Using the screen name “Isildur1”—which comes from a World of Warcraft character—Blom played well enough to where he felt confident taking a shot at $500/$1,000 stakes.
This was an intimidating move when considering that the site’s best online poker players like Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan, Cole South, and Brian Townsend resided here. But Blom proved that he was more than capable of competing against and even beating these famed grinders.
Isildur1’s first opponent was Haseeb Qureshi, whom he met at $100/$200 stakes. Blom won nearly $500,000 off Qureshi and moved up to $200/$400 and $500/$1,000 NLHE tables.
Here, he played against Antonius, South, and Townsend, suffering a combined $1 million loss to the trio.
Undeterred, Isildur1 made a comeback against South and Townsend by winning $2 million off them in October 2009.
Isildur1 also multi-tabled against Dwan on six simultaneous NLHE tables. Blom wrecked one of the game’s elite players to the tune of $4 million.
Next, he challenged Antonius again and won $1.6 million off the Finn. Isildur1’s winnings peaked at nearly $6 million by mid-November.
Naturally, the poker world was buzzing about the mysterious player who was already crashing top online players just months after appearing on Full Tilt.
Antonius called Isildur1 an “extremely dangerous” poker player who always forces opponents to make tough decisions.
Ilari Sahamies questioned Blom’s mentality when considering that he was multi-tabling against the world’s best.
“He’s been playing nine tables at once against Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey
