|
Over the past week, Isaac Haxton won roughly $346 per hand that he played on the Internet.
The American high-stakes star scooped $712,954 after just 2,063 hands played during the stretch, according to data from HighstakesDB.
In 2014, Haxton is up nearly $1.3 million over roughly 15,000 hands.
The second largest winning account over the past week belongs to Doug “WCGRider” Polk. He ended the week up nearly $400,000, but he had a $736,000 session a couple days ago at the $200-$400 no-limit hold’em tables against unknown Denoking.
Polk won the 10 largest pots of their battle, including a mammoth $382,827 hand. The pot was a sick cooler at heads-up. Both players were sitting with more than $190,000 in their stacks and the money went into the middle preflop with Polk holding the A A and Denoking holding K K.
They ran it twice, with Polk making the nut flush on the first board and a boat on the second. Polk tweeted after he was done demolishing his opponent.
Most money ever won in 1 day online today. Pretty decent
