Looks like despite high stakes tables being removed from the FullTilt, where Isildur1 was a sponsored pro, young Swedish poker player is still doing awesome. And by saying awesome, we mean that Viktor "Isildur1" Blom just won over $1,000,000 in a single session.
On Tuesday Isildur1 took $1,088,684 from his oponnent, Sean "WithColor" Rafael, after a seven-hour long PLO battle.
During the session the single biggest pot was worth a small fortune as well, not something we see often any more, $274k. Blom won with flopped top set against the bottom two-pair from Rafael.
With this win Isildur1 is up by $2,394,338 in August and $2,959,608 in 2015 overall on PokerStars, while being down $1,367,244 on his FullTilt account. With $1,592,364 in combined winnings he is still the biggest winner for online high stakes poker in the world for 2015.
Unfortunetly, we don't know how Sean "WithColor" Rafael is doing overall this year, as he opted out from his results being tracked. |

Feeling the good old days |

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

Where is he getting his money from? He degens off a million in a day a couple times a year at least. Granted he has days like this where he wins as well. Is he really a winner at the nosebleed games still? I was under the impression that he wasn't? |

Is PLO the most stressful type of poker?
It seems like people can win or lose a ton of money in a single session much easier than no-limit holdem. |

To be a long term winner at PLO is simple
DON'T SPEND YOUR WINNINGS, EVER |

From what little that I know, he flips small bankrolls a lot and then sells action |

So, it's true. The top online dogs of old are broke as fuck? Anyone of them own anything? I find it hard to believe that my broke ass is technically worth more than these stars. I'm only ~35k in debt afterall.. |

But really, someone posted recently regarding exactly this.. I think in that rip thread of that funny/alcoholic tourney player. Not many people come out of this game on top. Mad props to Wobbly imo |

Yes. Because PLO gets way more possible combinations whenever you see the flop. Sometimes it's a coinflip. You need a higher bankroll management if you plan to play PLO instead of NL Hold'em.
