Isildur1 VS Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey (Team Full Tilt) Part 2

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 continues his epic poker battle versus Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius. Missing fro the mix was Tom Dwan aka durrrr, who I believe was playing live yesterday. Viktor Blom… What does this kid say when hes sees his friends on Friday night? Hes 19 or 20 years old and is playing the top pros in the world for the highest stakes. What exactly does he say when he visits the local poker game when the kids his age ask what hes been up to? Oh I was just playing Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, and Patrik Antonius at $500/$1000 NL on 8 screens simultaneously. ???

This is pretty surreal if you ask me. Tom Dwan just gets signed to what is probably one of the biggest deals in sports history, then all of a sudden a kid from Sweden comes to battle not only Tom, but the top echelon of the high stakes playing team members all at once.

Viktor played just Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius, and when I started to watch, Ivey had a stack of $1.1 million on one screen and around $400k on another. Viktor had Patrik on 3 screens, and Viktor had around $600k on one screen, $400k on another, and both had $300k on the 3rd.

Phil Ivey seems to be really polite to the young Swedish player, and probably views him as a “producer” or “customer”. Phil has a big betting pattern tell on the young Swede, and is exploiting it every chance he gets.

6 Screens

Ivey would have over a million (5 buy ins) from Isildur1 on one screen, and around 956k on the other at one point.

Phil Ivey with $1.3 million stack

Phil would be inching toward million on 2 screens,
until Isildur1 would river a 3 on this board all in:

Phil would leave shortly after this hand up well over a million dollars for the second day in a row VS Viktor Blom aka Isildur1. I really think Phil is able to spot luck trends happening, and hes really superstitious. I think he saw that 3 on the river as an omen to stop play for the evening and retreat to regroup.

Patrik would be behind until Phil was crushing Viktor, could it be Isildur1 has tendency to tilt on multiple screens? Patrik was down about 6 or 7 buy-ins until Ivey was winning big, then Patrik
got almost all of them back. Patrik’s stacks were getting larger by the 1/2 hour and nearing a million on one screen. Then after Ivey left, Isildur1 began to crush Antonius again.

This hand would end up being one of the largest online pots in poker history:

Patrik chose to keep playing rather than stop after he got all his money back. He was looking to strike a death blow on the young Swede and take his roll. This proved to be a mistake, and Viktor took over the game.
