After a heavy losing session on Wednesday that saw him drop half a million dollars, Viktor Blom was back to winning ways on Thursday.

Many on the rail must have been fearing the worst when Isildur1 dropped over $350,000 in quick time to Kyle "cottonseed1" Hendon. The Swede soon recovered from that early setback though and put in a dominant performance against Tom Dwan at the triple draw tables which saw him take Durrrr for $300,000. He was even more dominant at the heads up triple draw and PLO tables against Ben 'Sauce1234' Sulsky, crushing him for a whopping $730k.

All told, Blom was up over half a million dollars on the day, taking his earnings since the start of the year past the $4m mark. It's like 2009 all over again.

Update – Isildur1 has continued his phenomenal start to 2013, booking another $600k plus profit against Ben 'Sauce1234' Sulsky at the PLO tables. According to HighStakesDB.com, the latest session puts Blom up $4.6m since 1 January and over $5m up since Full Tilt Poker relaunched.

The biggest pot of the contest was a $427k monster that saw all the money go in on a 4d8sQh board. Isildur1's 9dJdQdKd needed help against Sulsky's AcAs6d5s and it came on both runnings. A Jh3d on the first running gave Blom top two and the Swede scooped the lot on the second running after rivering a straight.

Galfond Crushes Blom

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom won more than $4 million on Full Tilt Poker in the first eight days of 2013. It was a rush we hadn't seen in a long time at the high-stakes online poker tables, and Blom admitted on Twitter that he was on the "sickest run of cards ever."

But as the popular saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

Blom gave back $1.7 million of his profits over the weekend, including more than $1 million to his friend Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond. According to HighStakesDB.com, the two superstars went to war Sunday afternoon playing three tables of $200/$400 pot-limit Omaha. Galfond catapulted out to a $400,000 lead after just 200 hands, at which point Blom requested that they move to $300/600 with "run it twice" enabled. Once again, Galfond raced out to a huge lead, taking $415,000 in less than 200 hands. After taking a short break from PLO, Blom returned later in the day to take another crack at Galfond and struck out again by handing over more than $370,000.

During his 11-hour session, Blom also faced off against recent PCA Super High Roller champ Scott "mastrblastr" Seiver, as well as high-stakes regulars "SallyWoo," "cottonseed1," and Ben "Sauce1234" Sulsky. Despite massive losses on Sunday, Blom is still the biggest online winner of 2013, but Galfond is quickly creeping up on his Swedish comrade.

For a closer look at Blom's losses, be sure to check out the Online Railbird Report later this week. HighStakesDB.com also has more on Blom's session against Galfond.
