Another solid week for Viktor “Isildur1” Blom resulted in him padding his profits on the year to $1.8 million, according to data from HighstakesDB.

Blom’s latest profits came at the pot-limit Omaha and the limit deuce-to-seven triple draw tables. He was playing the likes of Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene and Niklas “ragen70” Heinecker.

The Swedish Blom is known for being the catalyst for the high-stakes games.

Tollerene is the second biggest winner this year with $1.4 million in earnings. Heinecker was last year’s top earner, but opted out of having his results tracked this year. Tollerene and Blom have actually been alternating back and forth for the 2014 lead.

Other big winners this year include some of the game’s best.

Viktor “Isildur1” Blom — $1,788,430
Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene — $1,407,660
mikki696 — $594,290
Doug “WCGRider” Polk — $577,897
Isaac “luvtheWNBA” Haxton — $393,494
Dan “jungleman12” Cates — $274,891
Bryn “BrynKenney” Kenney — $234,425

The list of losers on the year has remained pretty consistent, with Full Tilt Poker pro Gus Hansen leading the way like usual. He is down more than $16 million lifetime on the software.

Gus Hansen — $1,375,906
Alex “IReadYrSoul” Millar — $660,221
SanIker — $305,705
Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius — $303,590
Ben “Sauce1234” Sulsky — $195,283
Martin Kabrhel — $149,372
pummelfee123 — $134,198

Sulsky was the biggest winner in 2012, but dropped a ton last year. He has started of 2014 on the wrong foot as well. Can he turn things around or have people figured him out?
