High stakes online poker ace Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom hit a bad patch last week, finishing as the biggest loser on Full Tilt Poker’s nosebleed virtual tables after a series of disastrous defeats.
Over the week, Blom dropped $1,366,606 in 12,031 hands over 210 sessions, far outstripping the next biggest loser, Gus ‘The Great Dane’ Hansen, who lost $666,808 in 4,212 hands over 53 sessions.
The chief beneficiary of Blom’s involuntary generosity was Alex ‘IReadYrSoul’ Millar, to whom Blom ‘donated’ over $771,500, which helped Millar finish the week as the biggest winner.
Other big winners were Isaac Haxton and Phil Galfond, who $655,730 in 2,435 hands over 18 sessions, and $525,128 in 1,966 hands over 13 sessions respectively.
Never-say-die Blom was back at the nosebleeds as the new week started over the weekend, but fared little better, although he made a good start of it by relieving Kyl ‘kpr16’ Fray of $205,000 on the fixed-limit Omaha
Hi/Lo tables, according to reports on the High Stakes Data Base website.
But then he lost almost $55,000 of that playing the $400/$800 NLHE tables against the misleadingly named ‘RookieNFL’ before confronting ‘Saniker’ and dropping another $150,000 in less than ten minutes. The duo
tangled again later in the day, again in a NLHE clash on the $500/$1,000 tables, where Blom was again hammered, this time to the tune of $239,000.
