Viktor "Isildur1" Blom Eliminated Shy of the Money

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Action folded to the player on the button and he raised to 9,000. Viktor Blom, who was recently confirmed as the online player known as "Isildur1", then moved all in from the big blind for around 105,000. The button snap-called and the cards were revealed:

Blom: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Button: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Blom was in a race for his tournament life and needed to improve. The {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop did not deliver any and neither did the {K-Hearts} turn. In order to stay alive in the 2011 PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure Main Event, Blom needed an ace, queen, or jack on the river. Unfortunately for him, and the many Isildur1 fans around the world, the river was the {K-Spades}. Blom was eliminated from the tournament about a dozen spots shy of the money.
