Days 8 and 9 of this year's Spring Championship of Online Poker have resulted in some high stakes pros making very deep runs in the high events, that have primarily been NLHE. Viktor "Isildur1" Blom had another impressive score with a top 20 finish, and he is currently in joint second place on the SCOOP leaderboard, with MTT specialist Shaun "shaundeeb" Deeb currently sitting at the top.

Isildur1 was involved in a three-way pre-flop all-in in which he held pocket aces, against AK and JJ. The winner of this pot would move to at least third in chips with only 19 remaining, but unfortunately for the young Swede, a Jack came on the flop and the AK hit a straight by the river.
