Isildur1 vs. Jeans89 - Omaha-8 and 2-7 Lowball Madness

As we reported yesterday, Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom returned to PokerStars tables after he and the poker room parted ways, and he logged a marathon session of 24+ hours and won more than $400,000. He continued his grind on Thursday after a few hours of sleep, which proved to be less of a success than the previous day; he lost all of his profits and his PokerStars bankroll took a serious hit as well.


Isildur1 started battling Jens 'Jeans89' Kyllönen on PLO $200/$400 tables. Jeans89 dominated the game throughout, he took some monster pots from the Swedish pro, including the biggest pot of the day ($115,523). They both went all-in preflop.

Jeans89: T Q A A
Isildur1: 8 K A 7

Board: 8 T T 6 K

Jeans89 made a $300,000 profit in the game, but Isildur1 managed to get some of it back, but by the end of the session he still lost $170,000.

The most surpising factor in the clash of the players is that Isildur1 has played games that he usually does not, and even though he started out well, he was destroyed on the 2-7 Lowball and the Omaha-8 tables. By the end of the session, the whole of Isildur1's bankroll was on the table.


Viktor Blom left the tables yesterday with the following results:

• NLHE: +28,567
• PLO: -164,022
• Omaha H/L: -248,631
• 2-7 Draw: -178,854
• Total: -562,940

Isildur1 seems he returned to his old self after his contract expired with PokerStars, and he is bringing his very entertaining  and crazy style back to the tables, for all the railbirds to see. The question is whether his story ends in tears or not.
