From $13K to Nearly Two Million in 14 Days
This time, his success unfolded on the platform Phenom Poker, his sponsor. The story began on April 8, 2026, when Blom deposited $13,626. Although several times during the first week he came close to losing his entire deposit, his relentless aggression kept him in the game. The turning point came in the second half of the ten days when his stack started to balloon uncontrollably.
The absolute peak of his run occurred between April 17 and 18. After a brutal Friday where Blom lost $451,619, he returned on Saturday and underwent a marathon, 14-hour session, during which he demolished the tables and recorded a profit of $1,068,294. After ten days, his account stood at over $1.75 million. A result considered an absolute anomaly even in the high-stakes poker world.

Dominance in Mixed Games
Blom didn't focus on a single discipline; he mastered a wide range of games at the highest stakes ($2,000/$4,000), facing the elite such as Alexander Kostritsyn, Johannes Becker, Volker Stuermer, and Christopher Kruk.
The majority of clashes took place in a Heads-up format, which suits Blom best. It's here that he can fully utilize his extremely aggressive and unpredictable strategy.
Statistics reveal Blom's strongest areas:
-
2-7 Triple Draw: Absolute dominance with a gain of $1,289,965.
-
Limit Omaha 8/b: An addition to his bankroll of $576,302.
-
8-Game Mix: A steady performance with a gain of $114,802.
Interestingly, Blom did have one notable 'weakness'. In a heads-up battle against Tabagari in the PLO5 format ($200/$400), he lost over $254,000 in a single session.
With these results, Viktor Blom proved that even after two decades on the scene, he hasn't lost any of his predator instincts. His willingness to risk hundreds of thousands of dollars after devastating losses and his ability to climb back to the top make him a figure that the poker world can't help but watch with bated breath.
