However, the Finnish pro posted in his blog ( found here, in Finnish) that he actually was a big winner in 2017. On the other side, Sami 'Lrslzk' Kelopuro posted the biggest loss of the year and ended $1,277,737 in the red. 2015's top money winner Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom ($3,497,527 in 2015) had another one of his fabled rollercoaster years and eventually finished $645,327 in the black, after surpassing the $1M mark earlier this year. Kostritsyn wasn't able to follow up on his stellar 2016 and finished 2017 with $457,729 in the red. 'BERRI SWEET' follows in the footsteps of Alexander 'joiso' Kostritsyn, who was last year's biggest winner with $1,466,568. 'BERRI SWEET's monster 1.7M year puts him at $2,330,314 in winnings lifetime. The high staker recorded a profit of $1,769,395 at the PokerStars high-stakes cash tables, while Kuznetsov finished the year with $1,454,838 in winnings. 'BERRI SWEET' and Timofey 'Trueteller' Kuznetsov were locked in a fierce battle throughout the year to claim the top spot, but a late slump by Kuznetsov gave 'BERRI SWEET' one of his tastiest victories yet.
2017 is done and dusted and the scores have been tallied.
