Not really, he's only playing 3-4 tables, buying in 10 big bets... and insta leaving when op 5 big bets or more, it seems :/

This makes a lot of sense. I guess sometimes part of the value in possessing something comes from your competitor not being able to have it.

That QJ value bet from the first hand is pretty sick.

But all you guys are just "waaaaing" cause it isn't a game you understand.

He has around 100k left, so assuming he didn't cash out, he's back down to even for the past couple of days, as he started with 100k.

Don't know if anyone else watching has noticed, but Viktor is actually adjusting his 2-7 game pretty quickly. Kindof cool to see him try to figure out what works and what doesn't. He's started checking back in some spots where he was value-owning himself to begin with for example.
