Swedish high-stakes poker pro Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 has successfully managed to win almost $287K from the first seven days of August 2016. It was three times that Isildur1's name topped the daily leaderboard charts with five-figure wins, and he was among the top 7 players daily this August to end the week with a total of $286,704 in winnings.
August 1 (Monday) - $57,200
August 5 (Friday) - $87,700
August 7 (Sunday) - $35,000
Isildur1 could have ended the week with $400K on his name if only he had stopped at his highest point on Saturday, when he was battling a five-hour $50/$100 PLO match against TILTMENOT which ran from mid-morning until the early afternoon. Isildur1 was up over $130K in a heads-up with TILTMENOT, but he lost $100K of that back before the end of the session. At the end of the day, however, Isildur1 did profit at the PLO tables with another win, earning himself a total of $32,600 after some more mixed-game victories.
It was the 8-Game tables wherein Isildur1 won the largest amount of his overall wins, winning more than $1/4m at stakes from $100/$200 up to $400/$800.
The biggest pot of the week was found at the $100/$200 PLO tables, in a match between Sirens and fjutekk.
To earn the $286,704, Isildur1 put in almost 14.5K hands in the past 7 days. Only he was able to pull off six figures in overall winnings.
