Just over forty-five hundred hands over the past week on PokerStars for Isaac Haxton resulted in $526,000 in losses, the most in the online poker world during the stretch, according to tracking data from HighstakesDB.

The losses put Haxton’s PokerStars account $70,000 into the red on 2015. Haxton’s high point this year was $836,000 in winnings in mid-September. Lifetime on PokerStars, Haxton is up $200,000. He’s a $2.3 million winner on Full Tilt lifetime, which includes $341,000 in earnings on that site this year.

Other big losers over the past week were “JesusLebtNOT” (-$243,000), “JayP-AA” (-$228,000), Sami “Lrslzk” Kelopuro (-$168,000), Sam “tr1cky7” Trickett (-$157,000), Phil “MrSweets28” Galfond (-$144,000). Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies also lost $74,000.

On the flip side, “WRUUUUM” ($433,000), Viktor “Isildur1” ($418,000), “cumicon” ($375,000), “RaúlGonzalez” ($288,000) and Ben “Ben86” Tollerene ($181,000) had the best weeks.

The largest hand since last Friday was won by Phil “RaiseOnce” Ivey on Sunday. The hand was at $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha and it was against Tollerene. Their cards:

Ivey: KHeart Suit KSpade Suit 9Heart Suit 5Spade Suit
Tollerne: AHeart Suit JHeart Suit QDiamond Suit 9Spade Suit

WRUUUUM began the action by raising to $1,700 under the gun, Tollerene three-bet to $6,000 on the button, and Ivey four-bet to $20,700. Blom folded his big blind and WRUUUUM folded.

Tollerene made the call. The flop fell 3Heart Suit 2Heart Suit 2Club Suit.

Ivey fired out $43,000, and Tollerene moved all in for $127,000 in total. Ivey called.

According to Card Player’s Omaha odds calculator, Ivey’s hand holds up 61 percent of the time against Tollerene’s drawing hand. They elected to run it once.

The turn was the 5Diamond Suit and the river was the QClub Suit. Ivey scooped the pot worth nearly $300,000. Ivey won $137,000 on the week thanks to the hand, but is still down more than $2 million on the year.
