The €5,300 buy-in partypoker live millions Germany Main Event, which attracted 1,022 entries offered a €5 million guaranteed prize pool. After four days of intense play, it was Viktor Blom, who walked away with a €850,000 ($1,048,153) first-place prize.

Viktor also known as “Isildur1” Blom notched the second-largest score of his career by taking down the partypoker live millions Germany ME. That allowed him to move into eighth place on Sweden’s all-time poker money list.

It was a welcome win for Blom, who finished as the tournament’s Day 1A chip leader. He’s been struggling a bit online thus far in 2018. As of February 17, he was down $88,621 in 12,096 hands spread across 110 sessions. Of course, with him, he could win that all back, and then some, in a single session.

In the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany Main Event, Blom made it to heads-up play against Moldova’s Pavel Plesuv, and it proved to be an epic battle. At one point, Plesuv held a nine-to-one chip lead, but the Swede used his years of experience to claw back. The two eventually struck a deal in which they both locked up €750,000 ($924,841) and left €100K and the trophy to play for.

Another player to make a deep run in Main Event was Brazil’s Joao Simao, the last partypoker ambassador in the field. The Brazilian made it all the way to four-handed play, which is when he ran into Blom.

The partypoker Live Millions will head to Barcelona in April for its Grand Final, which will offer up €23 million ($28.5 million) in guaranteed prize pools.
