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.
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.
