Although this player was a relative newcomer to online poker, he took on the best players in the world with no fear, Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius and others. This overconfidence was inexplicably justified as he managed to dominate Tom Dwan in an epic series of heads up matches. The result ? An incredible 6 million dollar dent in Tom’s bankroll, huge losses that he has since managed to recoup. I think a lot of people wonder how Viktor became such a strong player in so little time, with the ability to almost break Durrrr, arguably the best Heads Up No-Limit Poker Player in the world.
Some Select Hands From the Butchery (300K pots)
Tom Dwan recently blogged about his debacle facing isidur1 heads up. Apparently he has a lot of respect for his game, and thinks he will be around in the long run. Concerning his 6 million dollar downswing, a good portion of which can be attributed to Victor Blom, he thinks this was mainly due to variance. Below is a quote from his blog on this matter.
He is definitely a gambler, and gives a lot of action. This means that he can have huge wins and huge losses, unfortunately for me i helped him with his wins, while i recently got to witness huge losses he had to brian hastings.
The takeaway from that is that Tom thought he was on the wrong side of variance when he was facing Victor. At stakes so high, the lower end of variance can equal to seven digit losses. And much to Brian hastings good fortune , he managed to avenge Durrr by booking a + 4,000,000 dollar day against Viktor. Now given the skill of Viktor this was an incredible result. Adding to this feat, is the fact that this was the most amount won ever in a single day in the history of online poker. Readers should know however, that Brian wasn’t playing with 100% of his own action, as this is very dangerous at these stakes. But nonetheless, it was incredible result.
