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.

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

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 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 . . .

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.

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!
totally agree there buddy
