Online Poker Action – Phil Galfond Among Winners

Despite all the Aussie Millions hype and the ongoing action, the live tournament series failed to compel players to stay away from the virtual green felt. As a matter of fact, several players who are currently in Melbourne for the Aussie Millions have logged profitable time at the
on line poker tables last week. Phil Galfond was one of the biggest winners: he took down a little over $100k over 62 sessions and about 4k hands. Fake Love888, the player suspected to be none other than Patrik Antonius, finished with a handsome profit as well: he took down $196k. What’s noteworthy is that Patrik Antonius is in fact at the Aussie Millions playing.
Another player suspected to be a high profile pro (quite possibly Phil Ivey himself), known by the online moniker ‘RaiseOnce’ saw quite a bit of action too. He finished as the one of the biggest losers of the week though, about $154k under the red line.
The biggest winner of the week was a player known as ‘patpatman’ who logged an extremely profitable week: he ended up taking down $299.8k over just 2.6k hands. BiatchPeople had a very profitable week too: he finished with a $278.5k profit, amassed in a little over 2.2k hands.
The title of the biggest loser of the week went to ‘Kanu7’. He dropped around $313k and he was outstandingly efficient in shedding money too: he accomplished his deed in only 1.8k hands.
The losers’ list wasn’t a shabby one at all: it contained names like Viktor Blom, Sander Berndsen, and possibly Phil Ivey (see above).
On Sunday, Rami Boukai, the second biggest winner of last year and Phil Galfond took over the tables. Glafond took on Sander Berndsen and at one point he found himself up about $200k. He did drop a little money later, but he still finished with a more than impressive profit of $165k.
Rami Boukai made about $150k too. Most of his money came from Ben Sulsky.
