We arrived just in time to see Charles Chua's whole stack heading into the middle, followed by just a very small percentage of Viktor Blom's chips.

Chua: AcAh
Blom: 7c7h

Board: Js8sQd7d5s

"Sorry, sorry," said a wincing Blom. "Oh, I feel bad now. So sick."

Chua seemed to have a bad feeling about today, though - if you recall he thought he'd lost with kings against sevens earlier when he hadn't - and he took his demise with good grace.

Young Mr. Blom is now our chip leader on around 350,000.

the big pot , with overbet on river, does any1 know what happened there, did Pokernews report on it?

just watched the youtube video, i guess he had a set the way he talked after the hand, I didnt even see the board though so might be wrong

Table of Death - They Just Keep Dying

Posted 1 minute ago by danafish

By the by, the table which is now being ruled by the iron fist of Viktor Blom is in serious contention for the title Table Of Death. It's not that this table has more big names on it than others, but rather that they seem to have lost more players from there than from anywhere else in the room.

As Charles Chua busted out, Jonathan Aguiar sighed, "It's time for another break then," and moved away from the table to play with his phone - Chua's demise had left them six-handed and the dealing paused until another player was found from somewhere. Aguiar told us that he thought two players had busted from that table before he'd arrived, and that he had personally seen nine meet their tournament ends around that accursed felt - we're guessing by the stack sizes that Viktor Blom did more than his fair share of the culling.

"Bring us 10 this time, then maybe this won't keep happening," called over the bored and somewhat frustrated Aguiar to the TD.

so sick

Railed Blom for an hour or so today, the kid is an absolute beast.

why so, very aggro i guess, any good stories?

I dunno if you gonna believe but.. he LOOKED at him

.

Aggro yeah, I was railing after his set-over-set hand (so he was 2nd in chips) and was opening a load of pots. Didn't see any huge hands go to showdown, he kept taking them down on the flop and turn. The rest of the table seemed reluctant to get into hands with him. He was quite chatty at the table (maybe 'cause he had a deep stack, mbn) though and I saw him pay £20 ($30 USD) for a coffee.

Also, he is fricking tall, like 6'2" (almost 190cm) and rake-thin. Not even old enough to shave, makes me feel like a pensioner.

A recent count confirms that Viktor Blom is still your current chip leader with precisely 389,300.

Cheer for him all you want because he's terrible.

412k and clear leader atm according to live updates

Why does it take 4 days to get through a field of 350 runners?
