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.

$20 million loss for Guy Laliberte? That’s like one uf us losing an $11 sit and go.

looks like after last night’s bloodbath you can take Isildur1 out of the top 5. And move PA even further up.
