It’s not easy to make a living playing poker, especially for high-stakes. Sure, you are your own boss, make your own hours, and have loads of options on where to live, but the uncertainty and the swings can be incredibly stressful. When things are rolling though, what a life it can be. Right now, a player we can all envy is Viktor Isildur1Blom (pictured), who just a week into 2013 is having one sick year.

Blom, who along with Gus Hansen and Tom durrrrDwan comprise “The Professionals” on Full Tilt Poker, won $1.35 million on his home court on Tuesday. The cash game tracking site that followed his action, HighStakesDB, said it was the biggest winning day online since before April 15, 2011, the infamous Black Friday.

As if it’s necessary to be more impressive than it already is, what made Tuesday’s domination even better was that it was done across different games. Blom was no one-trick pony, not at all.

He started with a small win against PostFlopActionin Triple Draw, netting $3,750 before moving on to the $250/$500 Deep Stack with Ante Pot Limit Omaha tables for a clash with fellow online superstar Phil OMGClayAikenGalfond. In a bit more than an hour’s worth of two-tabling, Blom won $317,000 from Galfond.

Despite appearing to graciously bow out with the line, “You win this time Viktor,” Galfond(pictured) was back for more abuse after a few hours, trying his luck against Blom in 2-7 Triple Draw. His loss rate was lower, but that was likely little consolation, as Blom took him for $132,000 in about a half-hour, according to HighStakesDB.

For Isildur1, the night was just getting started. His next stop was $2,000/$4,000 Fixed Limit Omaha 8, where he found Kyle cottonseed1Hendon. Hendon fared a little better than Galfond, only losing $40,000 to Blom after an hour-and-a-half. It could have been worse, though, as Blom was up $150,000 at one point.

But Blom’s night still wasn’t complete. A few hours later, he sat down with Ben Sauce1234 Sulsky for three tables of $400/$800 Deep Stack with Antes Pot Limit Omaha. HighstakesDB reported that Blom played as well as one can, doing everything right. He got paid off on his value bets, forced folds when he wanted them, and was able to get out of pots with minimal damage when he had a good hand up against a better one.

There were 17 six-figure posts in his match with Sulsky, including the largest one HighstakesDB had seen since Full Tilt closed last year:

Blom opened the betting pre-flop from the small blind with a raise to $2,700. Sulsky(pictured) re-raised to $8,400 and Blom made the call. After a flop of 8h-Ad-Tc, Sulsky check-called a Blom bet of $8,800. The turn was the 2h, which resulted in the same action, this time for $26,400. At this point, the pot was more than most of us make in a year – $87,200 – but the fireworks were only just about to begin.

The 6h was dealt on the river, putting a potential flush on the board as well as a ten-high straight. Sulsky took the initiative this time, betting $68,500. Blom then raised to $293,000, representing most of his stack and putting his opponent all-in. Sulsky obliged and made the call for his remaining $101,992.50. Blom’s cards were revealed first: 8c-Ah-7h-7c, giving him the nut flush. Sulsky mucked and Blom scooped the $428,485 pot.

Blom won eight of the ten largest pots of the day, including ones worth $247,500 and $240,000. After two hours and 459 hands, Sulsky finally conceded defeat, having seen $743,000 move over to Blom’s side of the table.

After winning another $89,200 from Alex AlexonmoonLuneau in Triple Draw, Blom finally called it quits up $1,356,296. Not a half-bad day. And not a half-bad year, either, as after just eight days of 2013, Blom has made a profit of $4.1 million.
