Playing a total of 3,837 hands on the nosebleed tables, Blom put in a confident, audacious performance, starting on the $25/$50 tables and escalating his action to a confrontational heads-up on the $50/$100 tables against player Sauce123.

Having demolished Sauce, Blom hit the serious $100/$200 tables, playing 6-Max against Jens Kyllonen, doncarignano, MaiseE, Phil Galfond and mTw-DaviN, and pretty much crushing them all; his closest rival in the winner stakes was Alexey Makarov, who was way behind on $156,000.
