Isildur1 Viktor Blom destroyed Daniel Negreanu in the first match of their SuperStar Showdown on PokerStars last night.

The 20-year-old made Kid Poker look like an amateur as he took the maximum $150,000 off him in just four hours and 1,439 hands.

The pair were playing the now standard four-table, 2,500-hand match at $50/$100 No Limit - with another match to be played under the same terms next week.

But the young Swede wasted no time in showing 36-year-old Negreanu - who is 2nd in the all-time live poker money list - who the boss is online.

Nine minutes, to be precise. Following a raise to $300 from Blom and a $1,000 three-bet from Negreanu, the two saw a K♣4♥4♠ flop.

Negreanu led out for $1,200 and Blom called. Both players checked the T♠ on the turn. When the 6♥ hit the river, Negreanu fired $3,100, Blom moved all-in for $9,600 and Negreanu made the call, turning up K♥Q♠. Although his kings and fours were good until the turn, Blom spiked a two-outer on the river to take down the $20,400 pot with sixes full.

Two hands later on the same table they were all-in again, committing their stacks on a 9♣3♣2♥ flop. Negreanu showed Q♥9♦ for top pair, but Blom had him outkicked with A♠9♠. Aces fell on the turn and river to add insult to injury and Blom's boat brought him another $20,200 pot.

Negreanu gradually fought his way back into the contest and won back about half his money within the next half hour.

He even used Blom's signature move, the river overbet, against him. After check-raising the flop and leading the turn, Negreanu moved all-in for $16,350 into a $7,600 pot with the board reading J♦J♠3♦2♠8♥. Blom folded and Negreanu fattened up his stack.

Negreanu made another bluff attempt only a few minutes later. Holding A♥J♣, Blom opened for $300 and Negreanu three-bet to $1,000 with K♥J♦. Blom called and hit top pair on the A♠4♥2♣ flop. Negreanu led out for $1,200, Blom made a small raise to $2,850 and Negreanu called. The turn was the 3♠. Negreanu checked and Blom checked behind. When the 8♣ hit the river, Negreanu summoned the courage to fire $4,100 with only king-high, but Blom called him down and raked in the $15,900 pot, increasing his overall lead to $40,450.

Soon after he saw his pocket tens cracked by Blom's A♥3♣ - costing Kid Poker another $27,300.

It got even worse when Negreanu hit trip jacks on fifth street and paid off Blom's river bet, only to be shown trip jacks with a better kicker.

Negreanu was getting frustrated and it showed. In one $10k pot he check-called Blom to the river on a A♥A♠J♦8♠7♠ board only to be shown a flush with Q♠4♠.

Then, in a $19,600 pot Negreanu did the same on a 6♠8♦5♥2♠J♣ board, Blom turning up J♦8♠ for two pair and the win. With 901 hands gone, Blom was already up $104,350 when he opened for his standard $300 holding 6♥8♥ and Negreanu three-bet to $1,000 with A♦K♦. Negreanu hit top pair on the K♥Q♠3♥ flop while Blom picked up a flush draw. Negreanu led out for $1,200 and Blom called. The T♥ on the turn was certainly a scare card for Negreanu, but nevertheless, he made it another $3,100 to go. Blom shoved for $39,300 with his flush, effectively setting Negreanu in for the $7,250 he had behind. Getting slightly better than 2 to 1 on his money, Negreanu decided to call, only to discover he was actually drawing dead. The river fell the meaningless 5♣ to give Blom the $25,100 pot and a $119,000 overall lead.

Negreanu soon busted off Table 3 as his top pair got shot down by a flush draw yet again. The money went in on a T♠3♦2♠ flop, Negreanu with A♥T♥ and Blom holding K♠7♠. Although Negreanu turned trips with the T♣, Blom made his flush on the river with the 9♠ and took down the $25,604 pot.

"Sick," Blom wrote in the chat box.

"This is getting stupid," Negreanu replied.

With just $10,100 of his bankroll left, Negreanu found K♠J♣ in the big blind and three-bet Blom's button raise to $1,000. Blom responded with a shove. "Meh. Let's gamble, I guess" Negreanu said as he made the call. Blom turned over A♣K♥. Only a jack could save him - and it came. The flop of J♦T♠7♦ giving Negreanu top pair, but inevitably the Q♣ appeared on the turn and Blom made a Broadway straight. An ace on the river would chop the pot, but instead it was the 4♦, and after 1,439 hands, Blom was a $150,000 winner.

Despite his shocking loss, Negreanu later confirmed on Twitter that he'd be back for more next Sunday with another $150,000 at stake.

"Ok, officially shook off the loss," he Tweeted.

"Back to the grind this week and a rematch with a fresh 150k next week."

Isildur has now played six matches in the SuperStar Showdown series and won five of them, only losing the first by $41,701 to Isaac ‘philivey2694’ Haxton.

Before last night's stunning win he beat Aussie loudmouth Tony G ($44,280), Daniel 'Jungleman12' Cates ($44,280), Eugene ‘MyRabbiFoo’ Katchalov ($111.750) and online qualifier Attila “Dodgyfish27” Gulcsik, although after 2,500 hands he only took $10 off the Hungarian online qualifier.
