The online poker action gets rolling again

The online poker industry had probably awaited the end of the WSOP breath held, and the reason has now become obvious: as soon as the hostilities ceased at the Rio and as soon as the nosebleed stakes professionals shed the dust of the competition, the online poker games got going again.
Full Tilt Poker’s Tom Dwan was quite probably the biggest loser of the Series, considering that he failed to get that bracelet he had been chasing after, and that meant he wouldn’t be able to collect an untold amount of side-bet dough.
Having fallen short of his
WSOP objective had little to no effect on his
online poker appetite though. On Thursday, he logged a massive 9,400 hands over just 24 hours.
UrNotInDanger2 was his main opponent, to whom Dwan initially dropped around $100k. He recovered his losses later though, and finished the session with a $12k profit. The largest pot the two played for was a $62k one, which landed in Dwan’s pockets.
Ilari Sahamies was another high stakes maniac just itching to jump back into the heat of the online action. The Finn employed a hit and run style tactic to win $88k from Tom Dwan in just 64 hands, and tons more from Jared Bleznick in 224. Sahamies finished the day with a $200k profit. The largest pot Sahamies took down was a $80k one.
Patrik Antonius was also back in action. Ha won some and lost some during the week, but eventually, he walked away with a $420k profit, which put him right to the top of the week’s earners list.
In other online news: jungleman12 is apparently set on taking Antonius’ place once the Durrrr Challenge Series first leg wraps up.
