Online Poker Action – Ta-Chih Geeng Week’s Biggest Winner

With anti-poker laws and a generally adverse poker-environment dominating the US landscape these days, much of the high-stakes online poker action has moved to Europe, in the apparent wake of the 2011 WSOP-E. Thus, it came as no surprise that two European players dominated the nosebleed stakes cash games at PokerStars over the last week: Ta-Chih Geeng and Terje Augdal.
Geeng had quite an up and down week, but eventually he finished with a profit of $323.6k, for which he logged 12k+hands spread over 151 different sessions. There were other players who logged handsome profits too, but none of them were as productive as Geeng. PimpyLimpy finished with a $165k profit and calvin7v pocketed $96k.
Augdal was the only one who managed to make money off Geeng, but interestingly enough he finished as the second biggest loser of the week. There was only one guy who managed to lose more than him: GARFIELD25, who dropped a lot of dough to Geeng.
On Thursday, there was quite a bit of nosebleed-stakes action at the $200/$400 PLO tables, but the biggest volume of money changed hands at the $25/$50 tables. That was where Terje Augdal and Jens Kyllonen both played.
Augdal struggled around not making any progress in either direction from the red line, until he got around to playing tanya1604 heads-up. That session lasted about 3 hours and Augdal walked away with a $144k profit.
Brian Hastings played too on that day and he pocketed a $50k-$70k profit.
Geeng raked in some $28k from a player known as “g??fytwo”, and followed it up with a $40k haul which he attained under 20 minutes from GARFIELD25. The biggest pot of that session was a $47k one, which ended up in Geeng’s possession after he made a straight.
Another player who had a massive contribution to Geeng’s overall balance was Antispeed, who dropped a massive pot to Geeng on one occasion.
