Isildur1 Continues to Climb - Adds Another $321k to his Bankroll

For the fourth consecutive day, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom has secured a siginificant six-figure win at PokerStars high stakes tables. Yesterday's profit of over $321k puts the Swedish pro up $1,264,144 since Friday. Yesterday's winnings came at the 2-7 Triple Draw, Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, and PLO tables.

Blom's first (and longest) match of the day took place over 8 solid hours at the $1k/$2k 2-7 TD tables against German pro Seb "taktloss47" Ruthenberg. Isildur1 lead from the start, and within an hour he'd run up a $160k profit. Despite a good comeback from taktloss47 over the next hour, Isildur1 was able to re-establish a six-figure lead, at one point going up $230k in the match. However, taktloss47 did rally somewhat in the latter stages of the game, although Isildur1 still walked away a $128.6k winner.

Isildur1's next siginifcant match was played out in a 2hr 20min afternoon session against Ravenswood13 at the $1k/$2k Limit Omaha Hi/Lo tables. The pair were joined by Phil "RaiseOnce" Ivey during the latter stages of the match, but the vast majority was played out heads-up. Isildur1 walked away a near $70k winner from the encounter.

Finally, Isildur1 took on regular PLO rival, Sean "WithColor" Rafael at the $200/$400 PLO tables. WithColor wanted to play deep, but a tired Isildur1 chose only to play if shallow with 3x. WithColor agreed, and the pair played for a little over 1hr 20 mins across numerous tables, resulting in a $120k win for Blom. When WithColor briefly sat out at his tables, Isildur1 decided he'd had enough after many hours at the tables. WithColor seemed a little upset at Blom quitting but after playing over 10,000 hands since the weekend, Isildur1 had clearly had enough. The biggest pots of the day came from this session:

Isildur1 bluffs every street and is easily picked off by WithColor who had turned a full house - $96.8k pot

Isildur1 flops top set and turns top full house. He slow plays his hand after the turn to induce some bets from his opponent. The bets were bound to come anyway as WithColor had also turned a full house. However, Isildur1's Jacks over 8's trumped his opponent's 8's over Jacks and he scoops this $79.4k pot

This latest win makes Isildur1 the biggest winner of 2015 so far with a profit of $1,638,748 at PokerStars. Isildur1 fans needn't get too excited about that figure, however, as Isildur1 is also the biggest loser so far this year, with his Full Tilt account showing -$1,367,244 in 2015!

There were no other six-figure winners yesterday, although Alex "joiso" Kostritsyn enjoyed a second winning day, adding over $86k to his bankroll, making his 2 day profit close to $1/4m.
