At the end of the month of July, Isildur1 has finished in the positive "only" $ 369,766. But those who follow know, Blom has always known of swings in this way. It wasn't his first, and it is far from being his last. Isildur1 is still one of the biggest winners of 2013 with 3.1 M$ winnings so far.

Among the other celebrities of the highstakes tables, Daniel "jungleman12" Cates did well in winning $ 485,146. Speaking of jungleman12, announced earlier that he would resume his challenge with durrrr: "we are agreed to play 4,000 hands per month." If we do not play 4,000 hands in August, penalties will be taken. I mean penalties penalties for not complying with the timetable".

As a reminder, the Durrrr Challenge is a challenge in heads-up on 50,000 hands between Tom Dwan and a challenger. Parts are played on tables $ 200 / $ 400 no-limit hold'em or Pot Limit Omaha, the choice of the variant returning to the challenger. If the opponent of "durrrr" complete positive, not of one dollar, after 50,000 hands, Dwan shall give additional $ 1.5 million. At the opposite, if "durrrr" wins, he receives $ 500,000 on the part of his challenger.

The biggest losers of the year include Gus Hansen who must start finding the long time on tables with already more than 4 M$ in losses this year. Is it on a bad sequence or it simply has more tools to beat the competition?

Another big loser who can surprise is Phil Ivey "Polarizing" who has already lost 2.8 M$ this year on Full Tilt Poker tables.

In closing, "MalACEsia" won the most big pot of the month against "WCGRider" ($409,847). Basically, MalACEsia relaunches MP with 78, WCGRider 3bet 56 s button, MalACEsia call and the two players are all-in on the river. The final table: 7-7-4-2-8.
