Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom was doing very well at PokerStars' nosebleed tables last Friday and Saturday. He started at the $25/$50 PLO tables but quickly got bored and move over to the $100/$200 PLO tables where patpatman and other regulars were playing.
After a few hours of play, Blom was up around $800k and decided to play at the $200/$400 PLO tables against patpatman and 1Il|1Il|1il|. The winning[...] Read more » Viktor Blom Wins More Than $500,000!

Blom's graph should be something nice to watch. If we don't look at the values, it will be like one of a regular good player. but, when watching the values, with so many hundreads of thousands of dollars involved, one can even get sick just for looking at it. Anotherday at the job, another half a million for 18 hours of work.

These guys win/lose life-changing money like its all play money to them. In a sense it actually is since its money earned in a game and besides they're far too young to realize real value 500k has to an ordinary hard-working person.
Just the rakeback they get from it i guess its more than most ppl earn in a year. Wonder how much Isildur1 raked in just this session.

yeah this 1Il|1Il|1il| is a bit suspicious- playing rarely at nosebleeds, but has no problem playing against blom...surely he feels he has an edge over him. not necessarily he is a pro from full tilt times, but no one can deny that. blom is such an unstable figure- i think this playing style helps you grow gray hair in no time

win 1/2 million lose 1/2 million,it's all too easy for those players to win or lose those amounts,if i won 1/2 million i'd be playing 1c-2c tables for a while so as not to lose it all back too quickly.
