The heater that has been 2015 shows no sign of stopping for Viktor Blom, as once again he is the biggest winner of the month with a seven-figure profit. 

He ends October up $1,814,257 after 55,000 hands of poker last month. 

This is his second biggest winning month of the year, as in August he won a staggering $2,729,270.

His PokerStars account is up $3,930,228 this year, and his Full Tilt account is down $1,367,244, to give him an overall profit of $2,562,984, making him the biggest tracked winner of the year by quite a margin. Currently Jens Kyllönen is the only other tracked player to also be in profit by seven-figures, as he is up just over $1 million in 2015.

No luck for Ivey

In stark contrast, Phil Ivey continues his torrid year at the online tables. Despite starting very strong last month, he ended up losing $893,639 in October. 

This takes the losses on his PokerStars account to $1,905,488 and on his Full Tilt account to $1,250,806, making him the biggest tracked loser of 2015 to the tune of $3,156,294. 

Elsewhere Isaac Haxton had a difficult month, dropping $715,069.

All these results are, as always, based on the players who have chosen to remain tracked by HighStakesDB.com
