Online Poker Action – Ben Tollerene Tops Winners’ List
Posted by: Jo Martin - Sun, 2012-04-15 16:25
Ben Tollerene had a massively successful week at the
online poker tables last week: he finished with a profit of $631.8k, topping the winners’ list. He played a massive 10,524 hands to reach that mark. There were other big winners over last week too, but none of them even came close to Tollerene’s achievement. Alex Millar played nearly as many hands as Tollerene (he logged 9,876 hands to be exact) but he only finished with a profit of $274.7k. Ronny Kaiser won less but he was much more efficient: for his $261.1k profit, he only logged 2,386 hands.
Ilari Sahamies had been among the biggest winners a week ago, but last week he just couldn’t keep the pace up. He lost around $454k, dropping from the biggest winner to the biggest loser in the span of 3,636 hands. The other big losers were Ben Grundy, Gabriel Goffi and a player only known by the online moniker Zypherin.
Tollerene kicked off his week on the right foot on Friday. He scored a $94k profit, becoming the biggest winner of the day. All of that money came from the
NL Holdem tables, where Tollerene tried his hand at various stakes. He was most successful at the $100/$200 tables though, where he took down two monster pots from a motley assortment of opponents.
Just as Tollerene became the biggest winner of the day, Benny Spindler struggled along at the opposite end of the spectrum. He finished Friday $90k under the red line, becoming the biggest loser.
On Sunday, two of Viktor Blom’s SuperStar Showdown opponents, Isaac Haxton and Alex Millar, squared off in 4 sessions, at the end of which Millar walked away with a profit of $90k. The biggest pot of the session ended up in Millar’s possession too. Eventually, Haxton finished Sunday as the biggest loser of the day, having dropped $91k.
