Viktor Blom crushing High Stakes in August
Could Isildur1 be the biggest online winner for the second month in a row? Plus we have just concluded the largest Super High Roller in EPT history.
Railbirds get to see a lot of exciting things from Viktor Blom, but consistency is not usually one of them.
He is usually the biggest winner or the biggest loser depending on when you check in on him, but with less than a week to go in August it looks like he will be the biggest winner again for the second month in a row.
At the time of writing he has won over $900k in the space of a week to put himself comfortably atop of the cash game rankings, giving him $752,047 in winnings this month.
Add that to his $195,976 profit in July, and he is just about break even for the year.
His PokerStars account is up $1,317,317 at the time of writing, but his Full Tilt account is down $1,367,244 in 2015.
But, as is always the case, everything could change in the blink of an eye, in either direction.
Elsewhere PokerStrategist Yoghi is enjoying a big month with almost $400k in profit at the time of writing.
