It has been an action-packed, thrilling and simply amazing weekend at Full Tilt Poker's nosebleed tables, and, as many times before, we can thank Viktor "Isildur1" Blom for that! Blom had won $700k in the early hours of Saturday when he and Ben "Bttech86" Tollerene played some heads up at the $500/$1000 CAP PLO tables! The two pros were later joined by Tom "durrrr" Dwan.

The young Swede had won a six figure amount by the time that Dwan joined and looked extremely strong and confident. He dominated three-handed play and it didn't take long before he had $474k at one table alone. It wasn't until samrostan, OMGClayAiken, ronnyr37617 and trex313 joined the action that his winning streak came to an end.

Blom suffered a $300,000 downswing at first but then managed to win back $200,000. He left the tables when he was up $808,000! In total, Viktor Blom won $1.5 million in 24 hours - about $1.3 million more than the second biggest winner last Saturday: "canbeat". At the moment, he's 2013's biggest winner online with a $4.1 million profit.

Seriously, $4,1 million, that's enough money to last him 60+ years. That's just a ridiculous amount of money. It's more then some people would earn in a lifetime... I'm paid a decent amount of money but it would take me like 60-65 years to earn that amount of money. And that's from hard work! He's getting it by simply playing some poker for a few hours...

I would be happy to make a $41,000 profit for a year of poker!

I think anyone of us will be happy if can make a $30.000 profit for a year of poker... but they don't know what to do with money... wonder when a mobster will say: i won a MILLION $ from poker and if that will happen in the next 10 years... if i win $100.000 i'll be happy and can make a new life Big Smile

I wonder how many FTP's he earned Smile
 KoldShadow14/05/2013 00:55:23 GMT
Wow. I think the picture of him in the article describes how he feels about money pretty well . . . moola ain't no thing but a chicken wing Cool lol! He's the undisputed online high stakes/nosebleeds cash game king and even with his propensity to binge gamble (leading to tilt) is showing no signs of slowing down. I'm sure most of us BRMobstaz would love to have his FPP/rewards account, let alone his roll!
Interesting to see trex313 still playing; he and his brother (urindanger) talked about retiring from p0ker and getting into other endeavors . . .

Give him another 24 hours and he'll lose it all plus some....

I don't think the guy has any appreciation or respect for money.... He's just a card playing machine...

Easy come, easy go....

I bet he spends his last years living under a bridge in a cardboard box....lol... Big Smile
 Mysik8614/05/2013 06:26:47 GMT
I hate him... If I will win this amount of cash, I'll be lay in bed drinking beer with some hot girls Smile

He is doing a great avarage in terms of weekend winnings, will he handle this until the end of the year? If so, we could be expecting more than €15M profits annual, but that would be much bigger than past years, and there must be some reaons why that doesn't happen.

Why keep playing..enjoy the money instead...i would

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom was continuing his trend of spectacular highs and lows.A rough session saw the Swede drop $835,499 to finish the day ahead of Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond (-$247,026), Tom "durrrr" Dwan (-$196,665) and Jens Kyllonen (-$158,894).

truly a gifted player, thing is he always looks so miseable, if i won any thing like he has i'd have smile ache
 Greenmohave09/06/2013 19:21:44 GMT
Do they calculate the players winnings without subtracting any of their losses or is this figure how much Blom has profited this year in online play?

Just curious since his downswings seem to be as much as his upswings in a lot of cases. I just can't imagine sitting at a table for 24 hours or even 12 to play that long. I'd be out of focus so bad. It's amazing these guys stamina!
