Viktor Blom VS Daniel Cates

Viktor Blom screen name Isildur1 would take on Daniel Cates screen name W00ki3z on Pokerstars (jungleman12 on Full Tilt Poker) in the Pokerstars Superstar Showdown III. Both players are arguably in the top 5 No Limit Holdem heads up players of all time. W00ki3z would utilize a small ball style vs Isildur1 and Isildur1 would counter it in his normal fashion of betting 3.5 x the $200.00 min raise.

This is not the first time these two high stakes poker players played each other heads up. Jungleman12 took big losses to Isildur1 at Full Tilt Poker. I think it was to the tune of 500k… Today Viktor Blom would be victorious once again but only for about 51k. It was a much needed win for the high stakes pro with his bankroll so low.

Please note that missing from the pics and hand history below is the largest hand of the match for 49k where Isildur1 hit broadway on river and W00ki3z hit 2 pair.

Hand 4 would be the other pivotal hand in the match giving Isilidur1 the nut flush and W00ki3z a big river cooler.
