Online poker action – Dwan soars again

Rain or sunshine, the nosebleed online poker action never stops for anybody. This past week, the usual protagonists took their 6 and 7 figure bankrolls to the tables again, some of them logging profits, while others dropped money – more of it than regular mortals could ever even dream about. Tom Dwan continued to rebuild his bankroll (which Isildur1had ravaged back in 2009) by scoring a $1 million profit. In the meantime, Cole South, the most successful player of the year so far, dropped around $1 million, bringing his hot streak to a screeching halt. The Cardrunners gang as a whole saw a pretty tough week at
Full Tilt Poker, as Brian Townsend, the head of all evil in Cardrunners’ county, dropped around $750,000 as well. The other big loser of the week was Marcello Marigliano, who lost $451,000 over the course of a single day.
South had booked more than $3.5 million in profits in 2010, but that number took a huge dive a few days ago, when Dwan and Sahamies relieved the Cardrunners pro of no less than $1 million. Each of these two guys got about $500k of South’s money, during about 3,678 hands of PLO. The biggest pot that South dropped, was a $290,997 one that ended up in Sahamies’ pockets.
On Monday night, Marcelo Marigliano decided to play a few hands of PLO too, a decision which he would come to regret bitterly. The nosebleed stakes community had gotten used to treating Gus Hansen like an ATM, but this time that approach would not work. The ATM got mad and it took around $225k off Marigliano before luckexpress10 realized what had hit him.
Patrik Antonius joined the frenzy too, but the biggest pot of the session, a $121,200 disappeared in the Great Dane’s long-starving pockets.
Tom Dwan $1million payday came on Thursday night, in a short 2,700-hand session against Cole South and Brian Townsend. Never the one to mess around with crumbs and droplets, Dwan took $486k from Townsend in only 126 hands of $200/$400 PLO. South gave him a tad more trouble though: it took Dwan around 3,000 hands to relieve him of $300k.
Despite the handsome profit he scored against South, Sahamies is still among the biggest
online poker losers of the week with around $500k dropped.
