Pokertableratings.com is reporting that Blom is already down more than $522,000 in little more than a month since signing up with the online poker room. The site also notes that Blom had dropped a staggering $2.5 million over at Full Tilt before signing with PokerStars.
Blom has had a hand in several of the largest pots in online gambling history, including the single largest hand of all time, a $1.6 million decision that the Swede lost to Patrik Antonius. Yet Blom is known to overplay his hand and stay in a game far too long.
“He’s probably one of the best – if not the best – no-limit heads-up player in the world but he can still go broke every single time he opens the laptop,” British pro Luke Schwarz told Online Poker News. “He’s only ever got a maximum of 20 buy-ins for any game he’s playing and [because] he doesn’t ever quit he can’t book a win.”
