High-Stakes Online Poker: Viktor Blom Back To $1 Million In Profits On The Year

The past 48 hours or so netted poker pro Viktor Blom more than $200,000, bringing his profits on the year to more than $1 million once again.

Blom has been incredibly swingy this year, as he was up more than $2 million in February. He fell into the hole in the early part of March, before climbing out recently. His solid week came despite losing a sick $240,000 pot to Phil Galfond in pot-limit Omaha.

Lifetime, Blom is down around $500,000 on Full Tilt Poker, according to HighstakesDB.

Another player who has been up and down lately is Gus Hansen, though that’s much better than just down. Hansen was able to erase around $1 million of his lifetime deficit on the software, but gave some of that upswing money back recently. He’s back to being down around $16.1 million over his career on the Full Tilt software, which is the most ever.

In other news, Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene opted out of having his long-term results tracked, HighstakesDB said. Tollerene could very well be the biggest winner across all sites so far this year. Other high-stakes pros have opted out before, including Niklas “ragen70” Heinecker.

As a result, any sort of look at the overall winners and losers for the year is increasingly becoming more and more obsolete, unfortunately. The poker community might implode if Blom ever decides to stop having his results tracked.

Blom’s recent profits came at pot-limit Omaha and limit deuce-to-seven triple draw.

Card Player recently interviewed Dan Cates about Blom, after the two had a really heated exchange earlier this month. Cates called Blom a “scumbag.”

Cates is up more than $1 million as well in 2014.
