"That's how he beat Durrrr": Viktor Blom (aka Isildur1) knocks out Jason Gray at WSOPE 2010

[oskarveliky]

What does this with Tom "durrrr" Dwan have to do?

[SN011GlobeTrot]

Bloms image helped him get paid.Blooms range is all over the map and similar to Durrrr's many players will literally adopt the get a pair and hang on approach when playing them.All that aside the whole reason for the big holly wood stare down was so that Blom could quite realistically feign a great bit of weakness by carefully trying to analyze his opponents every action and movement looking for any tells.Gray was strong vs Bloms perceived range at this point and was projecting false tells here.

[ArcMaple]

The kid has style.

[Thessan1000]

cutie :)

[getduloh]

gray didnt snap call, he thought for about 15 seconds then re-raised all in

[dieselboy87]

lol viktor looks like hes staring at himand deciding whether to give him a kiss or not "hmm youre kinda cute but i dont know..."

[scv2222]

The AK preflop vs AA for .6M made me shed a tear of jubilaition

[kinghoho2]

very odd , in canadian casinos you are not aloud to touch anyones chips but your own. if you make a call and need to make "change" the dealer does it for you.

[tysontwo1982]

@kinghoho2

he didnt touch anyone elses chips, he raised and took is original bet back

[serratop]

Why should he celebrate, only idiots celebrate a poker win. If you have a little bit of class you just take the chips and be quiet. Watch and learn.

[SuperSuperFulham]

He trys to imitate Durrr with his eyebrow movements. What a prick

[mahtay2000]

can't stand the lucky fucker

[cardshark598]

haha that is how he beat dwan cooler him for 2 days. He even did bone head all in with k 10 top pair vs dwan ak all in top piarn and rivered 10 it was like a 300 k pot. hes a joke.

[MoveRed]

@cardshark598 lol hes a joke..... a Rich Joke

[moctezuma2008]

For those who wonder why he didn't seem happy about the hand, these guys are emotionally detached from winning or losing. that's the reason they play so well. and it is very disrespectful to celebrate after winnning a big hand against your opponent especially when both have big hands.

[1skullduggery]

@moctezuma2008 yeah, you never see the best players jumping around and screaming like their at a slumber party at camp hellmuth when they make their hand, even a longshot that comes in on the end.

[drewdonham]

when you hear ppl berating you and calling for your opponents cards to come you know they are intimidated by you. :)

[nelbox81]

I don't get it. If isildur won so why he looks like he's been raped very hard?

[Xanax26]

@nelbox81 I wondered the same thing. he made weird anger face. maybe he felt bad for the guy or embarrassed for winning top top set vs mid set

[krayzeepenis]

@nelbox81 because it is actually possible to be rich AND have an expression of pain on ones face. News only out recently, you probably havent heard it yet.

[Lakanen90]

just stair him down!

[gubicaaa]

i like how he bets at 1:29 :D

[TheGrannyWhore]

Rigged

[budweiser416]

I hope these players play high stakes cash game Isildur Durrrr Ivey Antonius Ziggy and hmmmmmmmmmm Minieri maybe that would be great to watch. Thumbs up if you like that line up :)

[morzloks]

this video is retarted

[z4kkk]

lol

[TheGrannyWhore]

i like that reaction 'yeah' 2:15

[jbolton04]

donk in background.. "Kind of disappointed to see you had a hand." Blom thinks... I can beat that guys a@@ 200/400 heads up PLO.. LOL

[ron126]

i think that's a good hollywood acting from isildur1

[TheGrannyWhore]

What a bunch of idiots on that table

[Be4TinGyoU]

@TheGrannyWhore I don't get why they are idiots? It's like you coming across your hero justin bieber you would be starstruck too and end up saying something stupid.

[directorbeau]

@TheGrannyWhore

a few of those people are multi-millionaires, i'm sorry but i miss your point.

[rickybobby5150]

Acting job when he didn't need it.

[Gedis21]

@rickybobby5150 you really think so?.. he didn't knew that guy was so strong, so Viktor wanted to get all of his chips , not to make him fold

[donhavrano]

Well, just for the record, he didnt have top vs middle set vs durr for 3 days every hand, that im sure off. I dont know what these guys know about poker, but he's got a game and i think he's gonna win a big one soon.

[TheSchartz55]

The funny thing is usually by the end of these tournaments the idiots who are talking the whole time or calling for cards in a pot they're not involved in are long gone and only the people who actually came to play and pay attention are left.

[KirKanu]

There's nothing more you could hate in poker than having your set beat by a bigger set... *RAGE*

[JDLupus]

@KirKanu Except for your bigger set being beaten by river quads ;)

[f1oRlicious]

whats with the stare down ,, i really dont get it !!!

[robnwk2006]

@f1oRlicious Aye, same!

[fastspeed9]

LMFAO, " I'm disappointed, you actually had a hand " HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[BoeingPrototype]

CHEEESSBUGAAA

[TungstenOrWolfram]

viktor looks like he needs a good ol' fashioned ass-beating. with that pointless staring, i'm surprised he hasn't got one yet.

[1337eddie]

@TungstenOrWolfram Go watch MMA. This isn't for arrogant bastards like yourself.

[TungstenOrWolfram]

@1337eddie pfff, nah, I'd never watch that stupid shit. go on, keep making assumptions, you Zeitard.

[1337eddie]

@TungstenOrWolfram "a good ol' fashioned ass-beating" has no place in poker.That's either for the ghetto slums you were raised in or for TV entertainment like WWE. Being so full of yourself and arguing against a person who achieved infinitely more in this field than you is pointless and proves nothing more but how a braindead chimp you are.

This of course, unless you were joking or fooling around; which I'm mostly sure you were not, given your reduced mental potential.Don't waste time responding

[TungstenOrWolfram]

@1337eddie you feel better about yourself now?

[schralerke]

" It sounds like Isildur1's image helped him get paid!"

The fact that his opponent had middle set is what helped him get paid.

[FortyOzSwilla]

They sounded like total faggots, berating a player with probably 100x more skill than them

[b3tr4y4l]

wow what a weird hermit lookin freak.. cut that fuckin hair goddamn

[mrt110883]

I agree with below posters; calling with set under set has NOTHING to do with table image. Pocket 5s are the second best non-straight hand, so the range of hands that could be shoving against him include many 2 pairs and the pocket 4s for bottom set. I suppose if Gray was up against an absolute rock, he might worry about 78 fastplaying the nuts against him, but that's about it.

[treezX]

bloms image did not help him get paid...its set over set, doesnt matter what your image is...that other guy is not folding no matter who is sitting next to him

[mikeleApple]

set vs over set??

[meltz911]

he didn't have a hand...

[GOLDSILVERDUDE]

What is the faggit looking at?

[senditd]

Viktor Blom looks like a reject from the lord of the rings cast

[soapy010]

@senditd That's why his online name is isildur1.

[bendustries]

@senditd lol true mate.

[illustrious1689]

novice spectator-"kind of disappointed to see you actually had a hand"

blom-"huh"...:not sure what you said because my english is lacking but I'm sure it was some nonsenscial bullshit that only you and the other remaining 7 people at the table would find funny...i will lawlz to make you feel better:....:raise eyebrows:..."ha"....:looks at leaderboard:....:yawn:...."tou­rnys are f'n boring"

[sikwitit345]

@illustrious1689 lmfao

[jmrd27]

@gutshot: "his image helped him get paid"???

wtf dude its top set vs mid set its not about image here its about getting your money in for both sides... just a cooler

[ilovebrandnewcarpets]

@jmrd27 I agree with you taking exception to that comment. But if someone is all in on that board, in a tourament with a 10k buyin (?) I'm laying down the 5's. Maybe that's why I always bubble in these things, but I'm not putting it all in when the guy can just as easily flip 78 and I'm a 3 to 1 dog for all of my money. Thoughts?

[1stPlaceDirector]

@ilovebrandnewcarpets Your style of play is not winning tournament poker in the early to middle rounds. To win these tournaments, you need to get a bit lucky in 2 or 3 hands per day. You can't be folding all the time and get to the final table.

[ddrwizard]

@ilovebrandnewcarpets

dude has 60k in his stack stack, on the flop there is 7k in pot, blom bets 4k(looks like 3.5k to me but author states 4k) dude raises to 15k, blom reraises 30k, and dude pushes for 60k. It seems idiotic to raise then fold. Blom can have 78, 73s, 23s, 66, 44, 76, 65, 64, 54, hearts are unlikely and air is unlikely, because this board is a bad one to 3bet bluff or semi-bluff because it's so wet, but good to 2bet bluff or semi-bluff on the otherhand.

[jamesabrook]

@jmrd27 Yeah, even against the tightest players he isn't getting away from that

[rocaho001]

damn badaaassss just fucking staring him out NO FEAR

[heheehehehhe]

1:31 BADASS LOOK

[sysweed]

Who are the talking schmucks?

[VicenzoV]

Wouldn't it have been much more fun if Isildur's identity remained a mystery?

[CorneliusHooter]

@VicenzoV The guy from Lord of The Rings?

Oh, and what an epic blowjob this video is.

[CameronRounder]

@VicenzoV no cuz then ppl would come up with rumors that he was a bot made by the poker sites

[2pacisgoDIamOJ]

OMG WHO HAVE RIGHTS TO TALK TO ISILDUR WITH BAD MANNER????????? HAAHAHAHAHA FUCKING LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT IS DISAPOINTED CUZ NINJA HAD HAND; FOOL THAT GUY LOST 1.6M$ pot!!! THAT MORE THEN YOUR PARENTS HOUSE COST!

[AugiTheGreat1]

THE OTHER GUY WAS LIKE FML!!!!! LOL I KNOW THE FEELING LOL

[ls14red]

thats a kid with a very angry looooook :)

[MrBluebulldog77]

Just like dwan...isildur doesnt have rigged poker sites 2 give him every out....and will struggle in live tournys! Dwan wins his money against idiot billionaires and if his luck changes he could go broke just like he did already...had 2 get a backer 2 build his stack back up.Online poker "pros" get a false sense of invincibilty then live poker smacks reality back in2 them or they go broke!

[saintjimmy456]

@MrBluebulldog77 how does live poker 'smack reality' back into online pros like tom dwan when he came 2nd in a WSOP2010 tourney ? i think this 'online players cant play live' theory is the sort of nonsense phil hellmuth spewed out about 5 years ago - it simply isnt true. and if dwan & isildur have 'rigged sites 2 give them every out' - what happens when they play heads up together ? is the site rigged in favour of both of them ? because i dont remember many split pots. proper idiot.

[WhytyProd]

god he must get sick all the durrrr and oh he has a hand references.

[BobbyNutzzz]

yes the bluffy image helped him to get paied set over set :D

[guusknelissen]

@BobbyNutzzz you're kidding right? so if it was barry greenstein or phil laak coming over the top of you in this situation, you would snap fold middle set here, correct? ofc not, fruitcake

[BobbyNutzzz]

@guusknelissen Obv. I'm kidding m8

[CorneliusHooter]

Sem-I mexico. Is that how all American's pronounce semi?

[Makaron9]

lol @ 2.16

[hjaldemort]

Hahaha kinda funny how he studies him xD

[sneak108]

is it me or isildur the kurt cobain of poker? and kurt cobain was bad and a mad man at what he did. and this guy looks like him some lol

[bierbuik]

@sneak108 haha yes good point, also both reject their fame as something stupid

[julesickdrums]

lol he's looking at his jugular to know where to cut?

[rudahanusek]

what cards they have had and what was the board like??? bad quality

[heheehehehhe]

@rudahanusek read the description below video

[rudahanusek]

@heheehehehhe oh, thanks

[sataraid]

[flex2125]

[dh144498]

wow the cold stare, i think if i was the guy in the hat i would've just folded even though i've already bet. LOL

[Gavin12345678910]

Staring into his heart!!! Total Mindfucking. Love you blom <3

[idalgleish87]

I like the intimidating stare could make opponents fear u and make mistakes. I wont be doing it down at my local pub league though,i like my face the way it is LOL.

[FortyOzSwilla]

This guy has achieved the greatest image, no one respects him so he will always get action

[TheReclamation14]

has viktor ever even said publicly he was isuldur1?

[donmajikjuan]

@TheReclamation14 he has now officially.

[BufasB]

@TheReclamation14 PROOF THAT ISILDUR1 IS VIKTOR BLOM:

/watch?v=2bQW4_d3xOg&feature=p­layer_embedded

[TheCinreds]

LOOK AT THAT FUCKIN STARE DOWN! LOL HE CHECKED TO SEE IF HIS HEART WAS BEATING! LOL

[TheBarbahaba]

i sure hoped i didnt hear gus in the background

cause the people talking were really douche

[eightmir]

these other players are idiots..

[TheGuitarManUK]

that's one serious stare down, especioally for an online player, and one who makes decisions superfast.

[deemuscles22]

the best , jason

[ron126]

viktor is lucky shit

[redicerap]

helps him gets paid??? so u would fold a set to anyone else except blom??

[ParisHilton1982]

this guy is cool, he has style, i wish he come back big time

[Bladerunner55217]

well if he was bluffing you out of chips over and over you would be saying shit like that to .

[Sulfarose]

1:06 That's fuckin intimidating. I would crack like a nut.

[mutzigmorzine]

@Sulfarose Same, through i reckon i'd already have broken down, with isldur on my table!!!

[equivocalx]

lol at people getting pissed off about staring. wtf do you think this is? special poker olympics where we're all friendly and show each other the nuts. it's a competitive psychological event, holy ****

[fix520]

How deep did he make it? ESPN only shows the WSOP in america not the Europe version. I wish they did tho, Poker is Poker.

[VinDigital]

@fix520 they've been showing it for 3 years now, buddy

[Lukawa345]

the guy who said that it was kinda dissapointed that he had a hand sounded like william reynolds aka Altum Altrus

[MrMobster1980]

If that blond gay would stare at me in a game like that I would fuck him up the very place.. damn where this world and this fuckers going to ? No respect for another player, staring like he is kinda king.. fucking bloom, homo mother fucker!

[ggnub100]

@MrMobster1980 you're a tough guy

[MrMobster1980]

@ggnub100 - tough or no tough, that's not the point. If You ever played live poker You could understand me a bit better. It's better to be offensive rather then defensive! Whenever someone stares me down in live tourney - I offensively ask them question, what are You looking at ?! Seriously, I do.. believe me or not but after that question in not polite way, even the toughest stare down people turn away and never stare at me again!

There have to be some manners, sorry staring isn't one of them!

[ggnub100]

@MrMobster1980 Ahh... I see.. but then again there's no rule saying that you can't stare... I personally think it's part of the game! If it wasn't for Ivey's stare he wouldn't be so intimidating, I think.

[MrMobster1980]

@ggnub100 sure, there is no rule against staring but is there are rule of slow playing nuts or the winning hand ?! No, it's some manners to the players and poker itself!

And there is a difference how this young "hotshot" is staring and how it's supposed to be done properly after all!

[JvandenB100]

like a bunch of children at the rail... like he gives a fk about u

[91Holdem]

@JvandenB100 yep

[zeecezzzy]

blom is a true player. he acts like a great chess player with complete focus on everything going on but the dudes in the background seem like complete old frat guy morons.

[dirtdoggg]

Yeah, the move at 1:30 was bad ass.

[Harryrjd]

lol at the guy who say pretty disapointed that you actually had a hand, and isildur is like yeah hehe.... idiots

[Harryrjd]

thanks for posting this

[ckyisyourfuture]
