I know you nvg micro donks dont understand what it is to show a class. Ivey would never ever act like that after giving someone horrendous beat. It was horrible behaviour from Blom just a fact.

have you ever watched blom play live?
the guy won the freaking super high roller for 1 mil. + and didn't even fist pump.

anyways, I read what I said and it sounded I KNEW what happened. I was just trying to say what I thought really happened.

Do I really have to spell it out to you? Whoever wins this tournament is going to have ran very hot to do so, it doesn't matter whether it's Phil Ivey, that's how tournaments work. Nobody has ever won a bracelet without getting lucky and they're not even in the money yet, so there are likely to be several more pivotal pots than this one. Blom is not chip leader just because of this pot, he was already in the top 10 chips anyway and lets be honest if anyone deserves to run well in a crucial all-in pot it's Blom - he does have the record for running the most below all-in ev in an online session.

LOL people celebrate at someone else's expense in every remotely competitive arena. You could make the same argument in any sport/competition that the victor shouldn't celebrate something that's unfortunate for the loser, but luckily for the vast majority of planet earth, not everyone is hypersensitive and on the verge of tears at any given moment. It's really not a big deal.

Also you have the worst avatar on 2p2

And 'BAIDS' is presumably a reference to Brass Eye.

Go Isildur.

Obviously you have to get lucky to win a tournament. derp.

However, regardless of how good Isildur1 is at NLHE/PLO, he's playing against a jacked field of players that are experts at every game being played, and he has very little experience with the vast majority of the games being played.

Mixed game tourneys are difficult to take down if you're not extremely proficient with all of the games; the rest of the field is.

Thus my statement implying that the guy is going to have to hit 1 outers with regularity to take it down against this field (e.g., get extremely lucky beyond the normal tourney run good needed). You're delusional if you think otherwise.

However, as I said earlier, it'd be amazing as well as hilarious if he took this tourney down.

Blom obviously has a great poker mind. Players like Ivey and Antonius have also managed to become very good at games they've barely played extremely quickly just because they have an innate understanding of poker which is enough to make up for any technical leaks they have, I'm sure he's the same, as well as having a big edge in the NL and PLO rounds. I don't think he would have to get any luckier than most of the other players in the field to win and I certainly don't think that the entire rest of the field are experts in EVERY game. A number of them are horse specialists who are far weaker in NL and PLO. You really shouldn't accuse anyone of being delusional by the way.

We can see he got very lucky but it was a cooler.So you cant fault him.

Even those its his first time to play such a huge 8 game tourny and we know he doesnt have as much exp as the rest(mizrachi,hellmuth,ivey etc.) but he is clearly an intelligent fella who has a talent for player cards so he can take these games up very quickly.

He may be running just extremely well but fair play to him,he seems to be playing decent too.

I agree to an extent.People complained about that guy who sucked out on ivey last week.It wasnt about his bad he played by shipping the 6-2 but how he reacted afterwards that this thread was so pissed about.Its the same here except its blom so people are a bit more hesitant to criticise him.

Wrong. That 62 guy was way out of line. getting it bad against a man about to make history at his 5th final table.

Viktor has never gone deeP in a wsop event before and has been running bad this year so its hard not to imagine he was excited.

Blom was out of line but hes just a kid plus he actually had a good and coolered someone, 62 is just a donk hand.
