Published on July 3rd, 2011 10:28 pm EST

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom crushed Terje "Terken89" Augdal in the "Superstar Showdown" on Pokerstars earlier today, moving his record in the challenge to 9-2.

"Isildur1" now has a cumulative profit of over $650,000 in his eleven "Superstar Showdown" matches.

For the second week in a row, "Isildur1" felted his opponent and won $150,000. This week it was Terje "Terken89" Augdal - last week it was Rui "PepperoniF" Cao.

Blom and Augdal battled it out over four tables (2 $50/$100 NLHE and 2 $50/$100 PLO). Blom jumped out to an early lead (similar to last week) that he didn't relinquish, thanks in large part to a couple of very big Pot Limit Omaha pots that he won.
