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.

Watch Patrik Antonius Has Something Against the Wynn Golf Club on RawVegas.tv
Ok, yeah, you read that headline and are probably thinking, “Well of course he does. Mark Vos is a ginger.”
However, Patrik Antonius doesn’t like Mark Vos for reasons other than the color of his hair. This is interesting, because we thought the hierarchy of reasons why people don’t like someone go pretty much like this: 1) they’re a ginger, 2) they believe in the 9/11 conspiracy, 3) they’re a ginger, 4) they slept with your wife or something.
Now apparently the bad feelings between Antonius and Vos stem from a comment Vos made regarding Antonius possibly multi-accounting (Vos explains it on 2+2 here).
In a recent interview with Black Belt Poker, Antonius comments on the Vos “feud” by saying:
“I’m angry with Mark Vos because he… er…. he… yeah, he’s pretty much a fucking idiot. He’s been saying things to people about me that aren’t true and it’s been interfering with and disturbing my work. We work under the same company, and he’s been telling things to the top of the company which weren’t true. He shouldn’t be talking about things that he doesn’t know about.”
Apparently Mark Vos never watched the above video. If he had, he would’ve learned that you NEVER piss off Patrik Antonius. Wonder if Patrik thinks Mark should work at McDonald’s (about 3:42 in)?
Anyway, maybe they can get all Gus Hansen and Theo Jorgensen and work it out in the ring.
