Ivey up $437K online in November
We have the latest from the online nosebleeds, plus a rumour about a new sponsorship deal for Viktor Blom.
October may have been a month to forget for Phil Ivey, but the immortal poker star has been back to his best where it counts over the last week, and is currently up a massive $437,164 at the online nosebleeds from 13,042 hands in November.
That profit is thanks to an incredible 3-day period for Ivey playing mixed games, in which he won just shy of $900,000.
Swedish pro Mikael 'punting-peddler' Thuritz was affected worst by the rampage, dropping a sickening $282,096 in just over a thousand hands against Ivey at the $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) tables.
As a result Thuritz is by far the biggest loser for November as it stands, but don't feel too bad for him, he's been on a tear of his own over the last six months winning nearly $3m since May.
Elsewhere, 'bbvisbadforme', 'SanIker', 'BigBadBoss' and 'terryhsu' are all enjoying six-figure winning months, while Team PokerStars pro Alex 'Kanu7' Millar is the only player other than Thuritz staring at a six-figure deficit:

Unibet to sign Blom?
There has been a Viktor Blom shaped hole gaping in the nosebleeds since his sponsorship with Full Tilt was terminated recently, but the popular Swede may have already found himself a new deal.
Blom rarely touches social media, so some eyebrows were raised when he tweeted out last week that he was excited about playing at the Unibet Open in London later this month:
In Macau right now, but planning to play the @unibet cash game before @unibetopen at Aspers in London end of November. Looks fun!

As of yet this is purely speculation, but we'll bring you more on the story as it develops.
