High-stakes poker pro Isaac Haxton won $310,000 over the past seven days on PokerStars, according to tracking data from HighstakesDB. It took Haxton less than 1,200 hands to win the six-figure sum.
The other accounts that won big on the week include “Donger Kim” ($218,000), “BERRI SWEET” ($194,000), “ringosnuff” ($168,000), Doug “WCG|Rider” Polk ($148,000) and Jens “Jeans89” Kyllönen ($125,000).
Between his “Polarizing” and “RaiseOnce” screen names on Full Tilt and PokerStars, Phil Ivey won roughly $160,000 on the week. He’s still down on the year, though.
On the flip side, accounts that lost big on the week include Mikael “ChaoRen160” Thuritz (-$271,000), “natalie724” (-$223,000), Ola “Odd_Oddsen” Amundsgaard (-$175,000), “JayP-AA” (-$174,000) and Alex “joiso” Kostritsyn (-$105,561).
The largest hand of the week was $146,000, won by Ben “Sauce123” Sulsky. The New Hampshire native flopped the second nuts with the A
A
4 2
in $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha on a flop of A
5 5. He was able to stack unknown player “M.O.P.”, who didn’t show his/her hand after seeing Sulsky’s holdings.
Though he didn’t have any online results from the past week, poker pro Tom Dwan, who actually hasn’t played on Full Tilt at all this year, was in Macau this week to promote the opening on a new poker room at the Venetian Macao. Ivey and Johnny Chan were there as well. Dwan said on Twitter that he showed up late and in sweatpants.
According to Poker King Club, it’s home to “the world’s biggest cash game.”
