The good news for Blom is that he’s guaranteed at least $105,235, as are the remaining players.

While Blom has nominal live circuit winnings (just five to date), he was crowned the champion at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure EPT Season 8 No Limit Hold’em Super High Rollers Event. 

Michael Mizrachi was still among the top chip leaders at the Poker Players Championship with Chris Klodnicki holding the most at press time.
