The Online Railbird Report: Tollerene & Haxton Win Big; Blom Drops $1,474,629
In last week��s Online Railbird Report, we highlighted Viktor ��Isildur1�� Blom��s remarkable $1,703,125 win against Ben ��Bttech86�� Tollerene in six hours. Unfortunately for the Swede, he couldn��t hold on to it as Tollerene recouped $1.5 million of it last Friday. Tollerene finished as the week��s biggest winner with $1,209,540 in 3,253 hands spread across 33 sessions.
Other winners included Issac ��luvtheWNBA�� Haxton (+$504,568 in 13 sessions/1,818 hands) and ��SallyWoo�� (+$299,494 in 10 sessions/649 hands) on Full Tilt Poker, and ��Odd_Oddsen�� (+$316,225 in 112 sessions/7,575 hands) over on PokerStars.
Not surprisingly, Blom was the week��s biggest loser, having dropped $1,474,629 in 12,760 hands across 151 sessions. Other losers included Tom ��durrrr�� Dwan (-$385,066 in 7 sessions/908 hands) and Sebastien ��Seb86�� Sabic (-$309,456 in 19 sessions/1,789 hands) on FTP, and Ignat ��0Human0�� Liviu (-$296,217 in 106 sessions/5,751 hands) on PokerStars.
��Sanlker�� Takes Blom for $213,000 in Saturday Action
On Saturday, April 6, a $500/$1,000 capped no-limit hold��em game sprung up on Full Tilt Poker between Viktor ��Isildur1�� Blom and ��Sanlker��. The two have a storied rivalry, but this day belonged to the German, who relieved his Swedish foe of $213,000 in 45 minutes. The two played many pots that capped out at $60,000, and here are a few.
Hand #1: ��Sanlker�� ($35,000) opened for $2,000 on the button, Blom ($73,993) called from the big blind, and the flop came down 6?6?J?. Blom ended up check-calling a bet of $2,400, the 3? turned, and again Blom check-called a bet, this time $5,896. When the 10? completed the board on the river, Blom checked for a third time and then called when ��Sanlker�� bet $19,704. ��Sanlker�� tabled the 10?6? for a full house, and it was good, as Blom sent his cards to the muck.
Hand #2: ��Sanlker�� ($123,416.75) opened for $2,000 only to have Blom ($30,000) three-bet to $6,000. ��Sanlker�� responded by four-betting the cap of $30,000, and Blom called.
��Sanlker��: 2?2?
Blom: A?K?
It was a flip, and one that would come down in ��Sanlker��s�� favor as the board ran out Q?9?Q?7?K?. Ship the $60,000 pot to ��Sanlker.��
Hand #3: Blom ($62,841.75) opened for $2,000, ��Sanlker�� ($30,000) called, and the flop fell 9?J?K?. ��Sanlker�� check-called a bet of $2,000 and then promptly checked the 7? turn. Blom kept the pressure on with a bet of $5,000, ��Sanlker�� called, and the 6? completed the board on the river. ��Sanlker�� checked for a third time and then called off his last $21,000 after Blom bet that exact amount. Blom tabled the 7?8? for a pair of sevens, but it was no good as ��Sanlker�� rolled over the K?10? to take down the $60,000 pot.
FTP��s The Professional vs. PokerStars�� Team Online
On Sunday, April 7, Blom was back at the $500/$1,000 Capped NLHE tables to take on Ike ��luvtheWNBA�� Haxton. The two played for nearly two hours, and it was Haxton who walked away a nearly $500,000 winner. Again, there were plenty of capped pots including the following two examples.
Hand #1: Blom ($43,497.75) opened for $2,000 and then called when Haxton ($47,498.25) three-bet to $5,000, leading to an A?A?4? flop. Haxton led out for $3,000, Blom called, and the 2? turned. Blom ended up calling a bet of $6,000, the 10? completed the board on the river, and Haxton led out for $16,000. Blom made the call, but he had to regret it as Haxton rolled over the 10?10? for a rivered full house.
Hand #2: Haxton ($37,263.30) opened for $2,000, Blom ($30,000) three-bet to $6,000, and Haxton capped it at $30,000. Blom called with the A?9? and needed help against the J?J? of Haxton. The 9?5?K? flop paired Blom��s nine, but he needed even more help if he hoped to win the $60,000 pot. The 6? turn wasn��t what he needed, and neither was the 8? river. Haxton��s jacks held, and he was pushed the pot.
Blom Recoups $583,000 in Tuesday Action
We mentioned earlier that Blom had won $1.7 million last week only to turn around and give it back a day later. You can read about this here. On Tuesday, Blom got things back on track and profited $583,000 after playing ten hours at various games such as 2-7 triple draw, fixed-limit Omaha hi/lo and pot-limit Omaha. Approximately $200,000 of that came from Ben ��Bttech86�� Tollerene at the $50/$100 PLO tables, and an additional $126,000 at the $100/$200 stakes. It was at the latter that the biggest pot of the day occurred.
