Online Poker Action – Brian Hastings Week’s Biggest Winner
Posted by: Jo Martin - Sat, 2012-05-19 15:51
With so many live distractions currently underway or looming on the horizon,
online poker action was definitely supposed to take a back seat over the last few weeks, but that was not what happened. Despite the ongoing SCOOP and the WSOP drawing ever closer, players were putting in thousands of high stakes hands at
PokerStars and several hundreds of thousands changed hands over the week. The biggest winner of last week was Brian Hastings, who finished the said period with a $379k profit.
He only played 3,844 hands for it too, so it was indeed quite an impressive and efficient performance on his part. He pretty much blew away the competition too: his profits exceeded by more than 100k those of patpatman and Chris Lee. Patpatman was the second biggest winner of the week, having generated $257.6k over 2,076 hands. Lee found himself $241.2k over the red line at the end of the week, having played 8,764 hands for it.
Wherever there are winners there have to be losers we always say. The list of shame was topped by ‘doncarignano’ who had dropped $208k over the previous week. !P0krparty¡, didn’t do much better either. His hot streak came to a screeching halt, after he dropped $198.1k over the past week. Andrew Millar was quite possibly the most ‘efficient’ loser though: he managed to shed $133.9k over just 1,400 hands.
Both Hastings and patpatman came out swinging on Tuesday. Hastings had dropped $83k on Monday and he was looking to get that dough back. Eventually, not only did he indeed get all his losses back, he finished the day with a $292k profit, which made him the biggest winner of the day.
Patpatman wasn’t too far behind as far as profits were concerned. He finished the day $229k in the black, becoming the second biggest winner of the day. Most of those profits came from Andrew Millar and Daniel Cates.
