Team PokerStars sponsored pro Viktor ‘Isildur1′ Blom dominated high stakes cash game action for the third evening in succession on Tuesday.
The Swedish sensation booked a profit of $384,000 following a lengthy session on the world’s biggest online poker site.
Blom began his assault against Ashton ‘theASHMAN103′ Griffin. The 21 year-old won $80,000 six tabling $25/$25 Pot Limit Omaha.
He then took longtime rival Phil ‘Jman28′ Galfond to the cleaners for $140,000 in $25/$50 No Limit Hold’em exchanges.
He rounded the night off in style by taking down $164,000 after 2,000 hands of $50/$100 NLH against ‘Kanu7.’
Viktor Blom has been in exceptional form since he recorded his second PokerStars SuperStars Showdown triumph over Dan Cates on Sunday.
The London based pro admitted on Twitter on Wednesday that he was feeling better than he has for over a year.
Blom, who was on a substantial downswing at the end of January, now finds himself in the black by more than $300,000 for the calendar year.
Jared ‘Harrington10′ Bleznick also prospered on PokerStars, winning $251,000.
Scott ‘URnotINdanger2′ Palmer continues to set the pace this year. The Maryland native has won well over $1 million during 2011 on his two active online accounts.
Bleznick struggled to transfer his successes on PokerStars to cash game action on Full Tilt Poker. ‘harrington25′ finished in the red by $150,000.
Andrew ‘luckychewy’ Lichtenberger ($-126,000) and ‘nutsinho’ (-$296,000) rounded out the top three biggest losers.

Nosebleed regulars Scott ‘URnotINdanger2′ Palmer and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan played out a lengthy session of $300/$600 No limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Hold’em over the weekend on the virtual felt.
Palmer eventually posted an upswing of almost $250,000 after dominating the big hands during the latter stages of the face off.
Dwan had been on course for a small profit after 1,500 hands of the 3,000 hand session but the 21 year old Maryland native won several pots in excess of $200,000 to end victorious.
Palmer took down the biggest pot, worth $224,481, after spiking an Ace on the turn to complete top pair.
Dwan initially raised to $1,800 from the button with Kc-Jc hole cards. Palmer three bet to $5,400 with As-Qs. Tom Dwan completed.
Palmer led out for $6,000 after a 9s-9c-4s flop. Dwan re-raised to $16,800 and ‘URnotINdanger2′ called.
Palmer checked on the turn after pairing up. Dwan bet $23,600 and Palmer completed.
Palmer checked for a second time as a 2c hit the felt on the river. Dwan jammed all in for $66,000 and Palmer called the 24 year old from New Jersey down.
Palmer flipped over top pair to snare the huge pot as Dwan was left to rue a failed bluff bet on the river.
Scott ‘URnotINdanger2′ Palmer ended the week as the biggest online winner with an overall upswing of ($342,634). Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang (+$256,171) and Jared ‘harrington25′ Bleznick (+$95,650) rounded out the top three.
Dwan (-$318,302) is currently the third biggest loser of the year to date. Only ‘Kpederson’ (-$497,184) and ‘cadillac1944′ (-$478,669) have dropped more money this month.
