An Orbit w/ Full Tilt Poker Professional Viktor "Isildur1" Blom
Most of the time Viktor "Isildur1" Blom can be found at the highest-stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker, but the Aussie Millions is such a prestigious event that he's opted to travel around the world to grind the live felt.
We often write about Blom in our weekly online series, The Online Railbird Report, but we thought we'd shift gears and give him a little live love by spending an orbit with him over at Table 26. The orbit began at an eight-handed table with Blom sitting on a stack of about 12,000.
Hand #1 (Hijack): A player in middle position opened for 525, another player called, and Blom folded.
Hand #2 (Middle Position): The first two player folded and then Blom did the same.
Hand #3 (UTG+1): Blom opened for 500 and received calls from the players on the button and in the big blind. Two checks on the 
flop saw the button bet 1,025, the two checkers called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
.
After all three players checked, the 
completed the board on the river. This time the big blind led out for 4,000 and it did the trick as both Blom and the button folded.
Hand #4 (Under the Gun): Blom folded.
Hand #5 (Big Blind): A player in middle position limped and action folded around to Blom, who checked his option from the big blind. Both players proceeded to check it down as the board ran out 
and Blom showed that he was playing the board with the 
. His opponent then rolled over the 
to win the pot.
Hand #6 (Small Blind): A player raised in early position and Blom folded.
Hand #7 (Button): A player opened for 525 from middle position and Blom folded.
Hand #8 (Cutoff): A player opened for 525 from middle position and Blom folded.
Not too exciting, but given he's lost 2/3 of the starting stack already, we expect Blom won't wait too long to try and run it up.
