Viktor Blom the biggest winner in July
For the second month in a row Isildur1 tops the cash game rankings, which look very different after Full Tilt removed nosebleed games.
Following a very successful June, Viktor Blom once again is the biggest recorded winner of the month.
He won $251,572 on Full Tilt, but lost $55,596 on PokerStars, to record a $195,976 overall profit in July.
The cash games have been noticeably quieter while the high stakes community have been in Las Vegas, but Isildur1 has been cleaning up in that time.
However, as always, a few good months very rarely tell the whole story for Blom. This year he is up $532,530 on PokerStars but down a staggering $1,367,244 on Full Tilt, making him down $834,714 overall in 2015.

All change since the Full Tilt revamp
It is not very often the biggest winner of the month profited for less than $200,000 in the nosebleed games. This is in part because of the WSOP and also because more and more high stakes pros are opting out of results tracking (So there could easily be bigger winners this month).
It is also due to Full Tilt's decision to remove nosebleed games. Practically speaking this should not change much as everyone can instantly transfer cash from Full Tilt to PokerStars.
However, it does disrupt the nosebleed games from a railbirds' perspective. PokerStars is now the home of high stakes poker online and it is not as easy to match every PokerStars account with the Full Tilt screennames we previously recognised.
No doubt there will also be a period of adjustment for the players too as they might have a rare period of anonymity at the nosebleeds.
Who do you think the biggest non-tracked winner is this year? What's it been like railing the biggest games on PokerStars instead of Full Tilt? Let us know in the comments.
