The Online Poker Week – SallyWoo Biggest Winner
Posted by: Jo Martin - Sun, 2013-10-20 07:33
The list of the biggest online poker winners of the year has suffered a little bit of a shakeup and it has lost a bit of its legitimacy last week, for reasons obviously well above and beyond the control of the people who follow players online and put together this ranking.
Kyle Hendon, known by the online moniker “cottonseed1”, the player who has thus far been the biggest winner with profits totaling $3.7 million at the online tables, decided that he no longer wanted to be included in the rankings and he opted out, thus handing the reins over to Ben Tollerene, who is in the black by about $3.22 million for the year, and who hasn’t seen any action this past week.
SallyWoo on the other hand saw plenty of action. Not only that, but the player behind that online moniker finished the week as the biggest winner, with a profit of $920.7k. SallyWoo played at
Full Tilt Poker and logged 1,904 hands spread over 13 different sessions to hit the above said mark.
Another player who did extremely well was Viktor Blom who managed to work his way out of a recent slump in a spectacular way and stayed hot last week, logging profits of $360.86k.
Sanlker was among the winners too, together with bbvisbadforme and Lefort. Unlike the other players mentioned above, Lefort played at
PokerStars, where he finished as the biggest cash game winner, with $172.3k.
Wherever there are winners, there have to be losers too, after all, the money has to come from somewhere, and last week, the losers didn’t come any bigger than Phil Galfond, who dropped $500.2k, in just 1,188 hands over 11 sessions.
Galfond was joined on the losers’ list by Patrik Antonius and by Gus Hansen, who got back in the “L” column, having dropped $340.3k.
