2013. April 17.
After topping the January and March online high stakes cash game money lists, Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom now takes the lead in April, too.
Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom won $2,819,384 in January (in 32,410 hands) and $2,306,388 in March (45,100 hands), topping both monthly online high stakes cash game money lists. Even as he was the biggest loser of February with -$1,508,279 in 28,181 hands, he still started April as runner-up on the annual profit list with $2,923,470 in 104,307 hands. He was second only to Alexander ‘PostflopAction’ Kostritsyn, running incredibly hot himself, who was up $3,735,237 in 53,623 hands in 2013.

In April, ‘Isildur1’ has already been very active at the online highest stakes, playing one of his best sessions ever on the 5th of the month, winning $1.7 million in less than six hours from Ben ‘Bttech86’ Tollerene. Following that, however, he got into a downswing.

On 6 April, ‘Bttech86’ got back on him, winning $1.5 million and Blom did not perform well until the 11th, camping in the monthly losing list, if not at its bottom in high stakes standards.

On 12 April, the tide turned and he opened with a great session, profiting $797,925, to which he added another $548,148 on the 15th, or earlier this week. These two sessions made him a monthly winner and also the leader of the April money list with $828,010 in 21,467 hands.

On this Monday, Blom’s main opponents were Kyle ‘KPR16’ Ray and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, playing FLO8 $2,000/$4,000 and PLO $50/$100, PLO $100/$200 and 27TD, respectively. ‘KPR16’ booked a loss of $483,544 and ‘durrrr’ lost $247,429.
The biggest pots were seen in the PLO games against ‘durrrr’: they had four of the top five pots of the day, all going to the Swede. The biggest one was $197,163 in a PLO $100/$200 game:

Isildur1 (stack: $183,281) sat in position, raising to $600. Durrrr (stack: $98,582) 3-bet to $1,800, Isildur1 4-bet to $5,400 and durrrr called. The flop came {#}Q {#}6 {#}7 , durrrr checked, Isildur1 opened to $6,800 and durrrr called again. He also checked the {#}K turn, Isildur1 bet $18,600, durrrr raised to $80,200 for almost an all-in, Isildur1 shoved to $171,081 and durrrr called all-in to $86,382.

Isildur1:
{#}6 {#}2 {#}K {#}Q
Durrrr:
{#}K {#}A {#}7 {#}9

River:
{#}3

’Isildur1’ won with top two pairs.

Against ‘PostflopAction’, Blom lost some of his profits from his other two opponents the same day on a 27TD $1,500/$3,000 table. Kostritsyn become the second biggest winner of the day with $258,070 in profits.
