Unlike the usual fireworks at no-limit hold’em or pot-limit Omaha, $2,000-$4,000 limit at Full Tilt Poker over the past seven days was the home to some massive swings.

Patrik Antonius and unknown IHateJuice continued to battle at the highest stakes offered in the discipline. Antonius took more than $500,000 off his opponent over the past week. So far this year, Antonius is up close to $1 million against IHateJuice in limit hold’em.

Danish pro Gus Hansen also did well on the virtual felts this past week. Hansen won more than $250,000 this past weekend at cap pot-limit Omaha and is now down slightly more than $1 million on the year. Hansen was in the red more than $3 million a couple months ago.

Last week Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies suffered a loss at the hands of Phil Ivey at $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha, bringing his extended downswing to around $3 million since October. According to the Finnish pro’s facebook, he is taking a short break from poker.
