Isildur1 Viktor Blom will take on an online poker qualifier this weekend in the 5th match in the SuperStar Showdown series on PokerStars.
The Swede, 20, has won three of the four SuperStar Showdown clashes so held far, making an overall profit of $166,065.
Blom won $111,750 from Ukraine-born pro Eugene Katchalov in the 4th SuperStar Showdown match two weeks ago.
Before that he pocketed $51,596 by beating Daniel Cates, aka Jungleman12, and took $44k off Aussie loudmouth Tony G. He only lost his first battle against Isaac Haxton, losing $41,700.
And now the internet poker sensation is to face a qualifier - Hungarian DodgyFish72 - in a low stakes cash game on Sunday.
At 3pm Eastern Time the pair will clash on four tables of $5/$10 for 2,500 hands in total.
DodgyFish72 qualified for the shot at Isildur1 after beating a field of 124 players in an $11 qualifying tourney and winning a 140-player final.
DodgyFish72 will get to keep whatever he has left on the four tables after all hands are played. If either of the players manages to stack his opponent during the match, he will get a $10,000 bonus from PokerStars.
Whatever happens, PokerStars promise he won't be the last amateur to have a chance to play Blom. The site is already running satellite tournaments where you can win a seat in the next Qualifier SuperStar Showdown.
