High Stakes Poker

Viktor Blom keeps on crushing the high stakes

11 June 2025

It's proven. Viktor "Isildur1" Blom is the perfect example of the action-reaction principle. After losing over half a million two weeks ago, Blom has uncovered a new score: a profit of $1,013,271.

During these last seven days, "Isildur1" has put things in place. Coming from the cold lands, he has been terrorizing the tables, causing his opponents to flee to the warmer Las Vegas.

The swedish genius played more than half of his hands (2208), but he didn't manage to win more than a "pyrrhic" ammount of $65,801. Tuesday was a good day, though, since after only 599 hands he found himself with a positive balance of $317,256. On Wednesday, Blom continued his trend of maximum efficiency: in 376 hands he won $390,897. Thursday was the best day: after 495 hands, he scored $504,522. Friday and Saturday, the poker genius rested. Blom closed the week with a bittersweet loss of $265,204 in 445 hands.

Apart from Blom, there were other winners this week, with earnings superior to $400k - Hac Dang, "SallyWoo" and the austrian Harry Casagrande.

These are the 10 players that have won the most at high stakes cash tables, from the 3rd to the 9th of June, 2013.

Meanwhile, Gus Hansen went through a disastrous week. The "Great Dane" was very happy due to his late May win of about a million dollas, since it could mark the start of his climb out of the deep financial hole he is in. However, all of this was a pitiful mirage: last week Hansen lost $1,260,903 in 2,503 hands.

Good old Gus has recovered the "throne" of the 2013 donors: Hansen has lost an astounding $3,436,854 this week, nearing a $10 million loss in his whole Full Tilt Poker career.

The week was also particularly bad for other players, who have lost over $300k at the nosebleed tables: Rob "Vaga_Lion" Akery, Ben Tollerene and the anonimous "kipu".
