With the
2015 WSOP just around the corner, some of the poker pros seem set on sneaking in a few more profitable sessions at the nosebleed stakes online poker tables. The Spring Championship of Online Poker offered them a great stage to practice their tournament skills, but the cash game tables saw quite a bit of action last week too. Indeed, among the online poker headlines generated last week were Jason Mercier's incredible SCOOP run, Chris Moorman's new Triple Crown and Viktor Blom's first ever Twitch stream.
The biggest winner of the week was none other than Isaac Haxton though, who finished with a $310.4k profit, in the wake of some $114.8k in losses incurred the week before. Haxton was extremely efficient too: he only played 1,197 hands spread over 19 different sessions to walk away with the said amount.
