High Stakes Report

Sauce123 has been doing great in high stakes games lately, so it's no surprise that he appears in #1 on this week's winners list. On April 30, he opened the week with a six-figure score playing mostly $25/$50 PLO and a few tables of $50/$100. Some of his opponents include Phisherman36 and !P0krparty¡, who have also done well and appear on the list. Sauce123 collected a total $401k between April 30 - May 6.

Phisherman36 actually came really close to beating Sauce123 for first place. He won $388,361 and is currently biggest winner on the month. !P0krparty¡ ended the week with a solid $220,642 score, which puts him in 3rd place on the list. We have to add an extra line here to talk about tjbentham. Tom is an old member of LP so we are always glad to see him doing well. He won $76,147 on the last week and appears in 8th place. 0Human0, Lottenice, Genius28, L0ve2playU, verve.oasis and pistons87 complete the list.

Ilari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies suffered some tough losses over the past week and once again appears on the top of the losers list with $308,100 in losses. Some his losing sessions were against Sauce123. Ziigmund has been struggling at cash games this year as he is now down close to a million in 2012. Ben86 is 2nd on the list as he dropped $240k. Isildur1 played only 1,342 hands, yet he is 3rd on the list with a $140k deficit. nutsinho, milkybarkid, EDWARDHOPPER, toweliestar, MrSweets28, visjeatwater and Aku1206 complete the list.

it's weird Nuts quit poker because he lost like 1.5million and couldn't take it anymore. The 2nd he comes back, he hits up the $10k tables........

its very hard to move down stakes even on a downswing

where did u hear this

Nuts posted on Twitter or directly on Pokerstars chat, that he was quitting poker at end of 2011 because he was running so bad at 100/200 200/400 PLO. Then he did actually disappear from the games for all these months until the last week I believe? Locoo would be more up and up

Hmm, I guess after his chat blow up, he wasn't quitting poker, just quitting online poker until wsop
