The Poker Lab Rat

There certainly has been a lot of money changing hands at FullTilt Poker this week, with players winning (and losing) hundreds of thousands of dollars on the virtual felt.

The $500/$1000 6 player no limit holdem table has seen some massive pots approaching half a million dollars, and some big online names have been raking in the chips.

Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond enjoyed good success  - at one stage sitting on a stack of slightly more than $1.5 million and finally leaving the table with $1,266,264.

Another big winner was Tom “durr” Dwan who made an impressive profit of $955,000 in a 24-hour period, owning real world poker players like Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen showing that even the best will come out with a loss from time to time.

And a day later, Dwan was online again, this time pushing his 24-hour winnings substantially over a million dollars by winning his largest hand ever - a whopping $657,000 pot.

But for every winner, there has to be a loser, and one player known only as Ziigmund took a staggering $1.4 million loss on December 7th, when his successful recent run came to an abrupt and expensive end.

He wasn’t alone, as Elmariachimacho also took a massive $750,000 hit as well.
