Blom Returns to High Stakes Tables, Loses
Posted by: James Carter. - Sun, 2014-02-23 09:19
Viktor Blom has been dominating the nosebleed stakes online poker tables at Full Tilt Poker lately, despite being away, looking for live poker glory at the 2014 Aussie Millions. Following his official full-time return to the virtual tables though, he was struck by variance, and he ended up the biggest loser of the week. He dropped a total of $362.6k, having played only 1,040 hands spread over 8 different sessions. Despite the above said loss though, he is still some $1.84 million above the red line for the year, which still makes him the biggest winner of 2014.
Two other players who had losing weeks at
Full Tilt Poker were Ola Amundsgard and Gus Hansen, whose presence at the top of the losers’ list has become a staple over the last couple of years.
Amundsgard’s losses totaled some $229.7k over 2,698 hands. Hansen dropped $158.7k, and he is now more than $1.5 million under the red line for the year, but his total losses at Full Tilt are obviously much more daunting than that…
Wherever there are losers, there have to be winners as well. This week, the biggest winner was Ben Tollerene, who finished some $271.7k richer, having logged 1,345 hands over 13 online sessions.
Alexander Kostritsyn, whose name has graced the loser’s side of the weekly profit-rankings for quite a while now, managed to make the winners’ circle this time. He finished with a profit of $171.2k, for which he played 1,587 hands over 10 sessions.
Kagome kagome was another winner, with a $148.6k profit, as was “wilhasha” with $156.3k. wilhasha’s profits came at
PokerStars, unlike those of the players mentioned before him.
Most of the money that Blom dropped landed in Tollerene’s pockets at the $500/$1k Capped Pot Limit Omaha tables, where the two squared off on Sunday.
Sign up to Full Tilt Poker, the top cash game destination of the online poker universe, and play with some of the biggest names ever to grace the virtual green felt.
