Once again, F U Phil Ivey's wallet.
Interesting thread over at 2+2 on the top winning and losing players in high stakes online games.
The list isn’t totally accurate and is more of a recent history, but still gives a good take on who is crushing and being crushed.
No real shocker, but Phil Ivey topped the list with almost $13M in winnings. Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond was second with over $7.6M. Patrik Antonius was third with over $7.2M but actually might be closer to first as he has about $5M from other screen names and websites not accounted for in this list. Also in the top 10 was Mark Vos, a ginger, with almost $3M.
Not in the top 50? Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan. He’s been running bad lately. So good timing on his Full Tilt deal by him.
The bottom 10 was dominated by Cirque founder Guy Laliberté, who had four of the top five losing accounts totaling around $20M. Gus Hansen was down around $5.5M.
Look at the full thread here.

Canadian billionaire Guy Laliberte is bringing creepy to space by dressing like a clown.
High stakes poker player and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte, a clown, became the world’s seventh space tourist and first-ever poker playing Cosmonaut yesterday, blasting off in a Russian Soyuz spaceship from the back of a donkey cart somewhere in Kazakhastan.
Laliberte reportedly paid $35 million, or about twice as much as he’s lost online at Full Tilt, for the opportunity, which he’s using for the do-gooding purpose of promoting clean water.
Says Laliberte on the mission:
“I needed it to be the right time and for the right purpose. This is the time. And the purpose is clear: to raise awareness on water issues to humankind on planet Earth.”
Also raising awareness on water issues to humankind on planet Earth (WTF talks like that?), these three girls. [click to continue…]
