Viktor Blom Wins $1.7 Million In Just A Handful Of Hours Thursday: HSDBPoker Pro Now Up More Than $4 Million On The Year Once Again |
|
Viktor Blom decimated Ben Tollerene yesterday, as the Swedish pro finished up $1.7 million, while Tollerene was down about the same. The pair were engaged in some $500-$1,000 capped pot-limit Omaha action on Full Tilt. On one of the tables, Blom amassed $1 million.
Blom had started the past week on a downswing, but thanks to playing Tollerene ended up as the biggest winner over the past seven days. Blom is now up more than $4 million this year. He was up $5 million for 2013 by the end of January, though. Tollerene was one of the biggest winners on 2013 prior to this week, but just gave back nearly all of his profits.
In other news, Gus Hansen had managed to sort of tread water recently, not losing much. However, the past seven days were horrible for the Danish poker player. He dropped more than $1 million, which brings his losses since November to just under $6 million.
November was when Full Tilt relaunched (outside the United States) under the ownership of PokerStars, which acquired the site as part of its settlement with the American government.
He’s had some upticks during the time frame, but any sign of turning things around has been almost always quickly followed by a losing session. Hansen just can’t get anything going.
What’s remarkable about Hansen’s horrific downswing is that he was on an upswing of about the same magnitude prior to Black Friday in April 2011. Thus, Hansen is back to being more than $9 million in the hole on Full Tilt during his volatile career. He was a site pro under old ownership and was tapped by PokerStars to endorse the rebooted software.
Figures are according to HighstakesDB, which contiously tracks the action on Full Tilt, among other sites. Below is a look at the up-to-dtate results from this calendar year.
