Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom was this close to topping the April online high stakes money list after his dominance in January and March. He woke up to being the leader of the list on the very last day of the month, only to lose $800,000 to limit specialist ‘jama-dharma’ and, with it, his position: with $221,317 left in winnings, he ranked 15th.
The Swede pro went on to make up for the session against ‘jama-dharma’, playing hard in the beginning of May. From the 5th onwards, he really got the swing, too, winning $880,808, then $223,650 and eventually $1,005,182. In the end of the first week of the month, he had a confident lead with $1,305,896 in total profits.
Blom’s results. 1-7 May:
1 May: $-293,388 (2,446 hands)
2May: $128,513 (3,763 hands)
3 May: $-239,930 (752 hands)
4 May: $-398,940 (867 hands)
5 May: $880,808 (1,536 hands)
6 May: $223,650 (4,154 hands)
7 May: $1,005,182 (1,130 hands)
On 8 May, however, ‘Isildur1’ lost all his monthly profits to 2012 high stakes king Ben ‘Sauce123’ Sulsky in a single session of 3,110 hands.
The two aces played on the $300/$600 and $400/$800 tables, with most of the 10-hour session spent on the latter, with the dominance of ‘Sauce123’. ‘Isildur1’ managed to come back twice but these proved futile in the end.
‘Sauce123’ gained an edge of $410,000 in the first 2 hours to see the Swede come back to about equal. Five hours later, Sulsky had a lead of $1 million, which was reduced by Blom once again, this time to a $100,000 edge to Sauce. Eventually, however, he crushed Blom for a total profit of $1,367,993.
All ten of the biggest pots of the day were played in their session. The biggest of them was $536,357, which they split in the run it twice hand: ‘Sauce123’ opened to $2,700, ‘Isildur1’ 3-bet to $8,400, Sulsky 4-bet to $25,500, Blom 5-bet to $76,800 and ‘Sauce123’ called. The flop came 9 Q 6 , ‘Sauce123’ made a pot-sized bet of $153,900, ‘Isildur1’ shoved with $240,406 and ‘Sauce123’ called all-in with to $191,379.

The first hand was Sulsky’s with top two pairs, while the second went to Blom. The second biggest pot of the day ($400,403) was, however, clearly Sulsky’s, making him the leader of the monthly online high stakes profit list, while ‘Isildur1’ is currently about breakeven.
