Ragen70 wins while Isildur1 and Hansen lose
As we get closer to the end of 2013, action at the high stakes poker tables on Full Tilt Poker doesn’t seem to be slowing down one bit. The regular players continue to have six-figure days and the race for the biggest winner of the year seems to be going in only one direction. While Viktor “Isildur1” Blom held the lead for most of the year, Niklas “ragen70” Heinecker is far ahead as we go down the home stretch, with almost $6 million in profits.

Ragen70 is the not the only one to make waves over the last couple of weeks as Isildur1 and Gus Hansen have also experienced million dollar swings, although they were the negative ones. Blom lost a bit over $1.4 million across 157 sessions and the Great Dane continued his impressive losing streak for this year and went another $1.4 million in the red.
Thanksgiving action
On Thursday, November 28, Thanksgiving was celebrated across the United States but the holiday did not do anything to stop the European players from playing online poker for huge stakes. Alexander “PostFlopAction” Kostritsyn had the most to be thankful for as he finished as the biggest winner of the day by winning $165,800 from Blom, while playing 8-Game. The session lasted for four hours and while the Russian started really hot, Blom managed to close the gap but the final half an hour proved to be essential as Kostritsyn won $123,000 in just 30 minutes.
Blom went down $400,000 during the day but managed to bounce back after winning $305,000 in 80 minutes from “SallyWoo”. A short stop at the Omaha tables landed the Swede another $30,000 and he finished the day with only $71,000 in losses.
