Online Poker Action: Sanlker Biggest Winner of last Two Weeks
Posted by: Randy Williams - Sun, 2014-12-07 05:35
The two-week period spanning from November 21 to December 4 was a rather prolific one for
online poker professional Sanlker, who finished the above said period with the biggest profit. Sanlker played at Full Tilt Poker, and he logged some 7,243 hands over 31 different sessions, to take down $593.5k. Full Tilt Poker was the catalyst of the high stakes cash game action: the second and the third biggest winners of the above said period came from the site too. AthaCliath won some $225.3k, in second place, while Phil Ivey returned to the winners’ circle, finishing with a $199.7k profit, for which he only logged 5,139 hands, spread over 20 different sessions. Ivey’s performance is all the more interesting considering the fact that he wasn’t even online during the holidays.

Obviously, wherever there are big winners, there have to be big losers as well. During the above said period, the player who lost the most money was J B E Z 2 E Z, who dropped $267k, over 1,839 hands, spread over just 7 different sessions. Dani Stern lost quite a bit as well: his $169.5k was “enough” to clinch him second place on the list of shame. Patrik Antonius made the losers’ list as well, with $147.4k.
Besides the cash game action, there was plenty of money going around in tournament-land as well: at PokerStars, the Billionth Tournament took place, featuring a prize-pool of $3.4 million and leaving the initial guarantee of $2 million in the dust. During the first two hours of the event, no less than $200k has been awarded in random prizes to participants. The eventual winner of the tournament was Uruguay’s kofi89, who picked up $329.5k for his efforts.
