On Tuesday, July 23, Viktor ��Isildur1�� Blom, who lost $1.4 million playing online last week, played for over 12 hours and lost an additional $329,000. Some of that went to Alex ��IReadYrSoul�� Millar, who spent five hours at the Full Tilt Poker $400/$800 no-limit hold��em tables against the Swede.
Prior to that match, Blom had already dropped $298,000 to Ben ��Bttech86�� Tollerene at a $500/$1,000 cap pot-limit Omaha table, not to mention losses of $100,000 to Kyle ��KPR16�� Fray and ��SallyWoo�� at fixed-limit Omaha hi/lo and $61,000 to Niklas ��ragen70�� Heinecker at no-limit hold��em.

When all was said and done, Millar walked away with $247,600 in profit, which was enough to make him the day��s biggest winner. Others who earned a decent payday were Fray (+$85,100), Patrik ��Fake Love888�� Antonius (+$78,000), and Ben ��Sauce123�� Sulsky (+$74,300).
