Russian professional poker player Artur Martirosyan has overturned Viktor Blom’s huge lead to claim the 2020 Super High Roller Bowl Online Series Championship in stunning fashion.

 With a final day’s action that saw Martirosyan need to put in a peak performance at the online felt, the Russian made his sixth final table of 27 events, cashing for an incredible $1.795 million over the series.

Blom, who had led until the last three events, was overtaken as Martirosyan cashed for an eighth and final time, but the manner in which the Russian overhauled the deficit will have made every elite player sit up and take notice.

The race for the Championship saw Blom get off to the much better start, finishing second in Event #2 for $320,625. Quite a lead already, Blom added to his points tally in Event #8, again finishing runner-up in an event where Martirosyan came 3rd. That advantage for the Swede was built upon in Event #9 as Blom finally got the outright win and looked to have established an impressive lead.
