Times apparently have changed for Viktor “Isildur1” Blom.

On Monday, the poker pro, who at one point in January was incredibly up more than $5 million on 2013, was playing the short stack on a handful of tables, including $50-$100 pot-limit Omaha — a far cry from some of the stakes he had been grinding up until recently.

His session, which saw him sitting with under $1,000 at one table, was super brief, lasting about an hour. Blom has played tens of thousands of hands so far this year.

According to data from HighstakesDB, Blom’s profits for this year have fallen all the way down to under $880,000. His graph actually looks like a roller coaster.

Blom ascended to $5 million at light speed, only to give half of it back over the course of the next few weeks. Ever since then it has been a steady descent for the Swede.
