|
Between live and online play, Niklas “ragen70” Heinecker has won more than $9 million on the year, which is the most in the poker world in 2013.
Another solid week at the online poker tables resulted in profits of around $460,000 for the German. He is now up a whopping $4.65 million on Full Tilt Poker, according to HighstakesDB.
That figure is tops in the Internet poker world this year as well.
November has been amazing for him, as he is closing out the year in the midst of a $1.4 million upswing. For most of the year he wasn’t near the top of the leader board.
Take a look at his Full Tilt graph on HighstakesDB.
As the graph shows, he didn’t even start playing until around May.
Heinecker’s game of choice is $400-$800 no-limit hold’em. He has played several pots of more than $300,000 in 2013. His largest was $403,000.
The other half of Heinecker’s winnings on the year came from a live tournament.
In June, Heinecker took down the HK 1,000,000 ($130,000 USD) buy-in event that attracted 71 entrants, 54 of whom exercised their option to rebuy. A massive HK 119 million prize pool ($15.4 million USD) was created. Heinecker captured $4.5 million of that.
On the flip side in November, Full Tilt sponsored players Viktor Blom and Gus Hansen have lost massive amounts. Blom is down $1 million, while Hansen has lost $800,000.
Card Player reported on Hansen when he reached $14 million in lifetime losses on the software, but since then he has managed to win about $500,000 of that back.
