While Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies was Finland's highest young earner in 2009, in October 2010 he had to face the tougher side of his profession, losing in a single month almost as much as his last year's taxable profit was.

Ziigmund was the only one more than one million - or even half a million - in the red during October's high stakes games on Full Tilt Poker. Those who stood to profit from his unfortunes were the three biggest winners of the month, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, skjervoy and fellow Finn Patrik Antonius. Of the Coinflip pro bloggers, Jens "Ingenious89" Kyllönen won just a tad under $50,000.

Winners:
durrrr $991,318
skjervoy $755,211
