Online Poker Action - !P0krparty¡ Dominates

!P0krparty¡ has been a regular at the high stakes
online poker tables for a while but he hasn’t exactly been a regular in the weekly winners’ circle. As a matter of fact, he made headlines by dropping phenomenal amounts of money. Last week he redeemed himself though, finishing as the top winner with a $499,257 profit. He played more than 13k hands over 76 sessions. Rounding up the top 3 were two relatively unknown players: diggidave, who booked a $138.2k profit and Kanu7 who finished the week $133.7k richer. These guys played a lot less than P0krparty¡ though.
The wheel has turned quite a bit for players like Phil D’Auteuil, who had made the winners’ list quite a few times in the past. D’Auteuil finished with the biggest loss last week. He dropped $252k over 2,890 hands. Ben Tollerene and Romain Arnaud finished with massive losses too.
Most of !P0krparty¡’s winnings came on Thursday night when he played a number of different players at the $25/$50 and $50/$100 PLO tables. Altogether, P0krparty¡ finished with an impressive $333k profit, but what’s even more impressive about it is the fact that some of that money came from none other than Phil Galfond. The two players locked horns at 9 heads-up PLO tables, and !P0krparty¡ finished the session with a substantial profit.
Ilari Sahamies and Peter Chan played on Thursday as well. The two tangled at a $50/$100 PLO table at
PokerStars, where three other players played. One of the biggest pots they did battle for was a $132k whooper, which ended up in Chan’s possession, after his pocket Ks held against Sahamies’ nut flush and gutshot straight draws.
Brian Hastings made the losers’ list too with a $128k loss and so did verve.oasis, who lost almost $100k as well.
Gus Hansen is still the biggest winner of the year, followed by Daniel Cates and Alexey Makarov.
