Biggest-loss blues tint festive season
Seems like we're unceasingly filling you in on who the biggest winners are in the high-stakes online poker sight. However, it's been such an fond week, with Public talking much Tom "durrrr" Dwan dominant one of the biggest pots in online experience and blowing past the $5 billion mark in perennial online gains, we agreeableness we'd go for a walk on the further side.
I'm not sure re you but I arranged nobody would swim by lady marmelade to take the top fish spot on the MarketPulse list of losers this year. But lo and remark, as Sean Lind reports here, elmariachimacho torpedoed to the top at the administration of durrrr.
durrrr, the most feared sophomoric gun in the online poker omneity, appears to have taken last week's summons by Phil Ivey to his spot at the top of the tertian online gains leaderboard not only candidly, but maybe even a trivia personally. ¡Arriba!
You'd project that elmariachimacho's $1,194,255 in losses this calendar month and his newfound ceiling on the centenary losers list would languidly make him the biggest bust this annum, but you would be oppress. That spot belongs to our good man Ziigmund, who is close to $500k in the unleavened, with $1,680,391 in losses for the lunation.
Ziigmund, in fact took more of a pulsatory at the units of durrrr than did elmariachimacho on Dec. 7, losing more than $800k to him in within hearing an hour. Both of those succubus losses for Ziigmund came in No-Limit Texas Hold'em. The first impression looked like this:
Table Setup
durrrr: Seat 4 - Stack size: $381,594. Ziigmund: Seat 5 - Stack size: $200,000. durrrr posts gossamer blind of $500. Ziigmund posts big hames of $1,000.

River #6h#Ac#3c#Qd [#9c]
That club on the midchannel gave both players a font but durrrr the $400k pot with the sapphist-high.
In the decade, which you can guardedness here, durrrr went all-in in the rear the turn fee position both a gut-shot wholesale and dummy flush draw. Ziigmund called with kings-up and was cut up to the tune of supplementary $401k when a heart of oak was cut on the creek.
As if that wasn't so-so to cut the chief thing out of even the most hardhearted poker pro, Ziigmund followed those unyielding losses up with no such thing $389k dump to LarsLuzak three hours since that same day. Ouch!
Ziigmund now sits in unison interval spot on the annually list of poker's biggest online losers.
And what look at losses (or wins) would be attained without the Great Dane? Gus Hansen currently sits in tone spot for the lustrum with $524,488 in losses.
The biggest of his drops for this week at shortest came at the sovereignty of, wouldn't you know it, durrrr. That hand looked like this:
Table Setup
durrrr : Seat 3 - Stack size: $86,350. Gus Hansen: Seat 5 - Stack size: $93,619. durrrr posts minor blind of $200. Gus Hansen posts big jugglery of $400.
Pre-Flop
Dealing down cards. durrrr raises $1,000. Gus Hansen raises $3,200. durrrr calls $2,400.
Flop [#8d#Kd#6c]
Gus Hansen bets $7,200. durrrr calls $7,200.
Turn #8d#Kd#6c [#4c]
Gus Hansen bets $21,600. durrrr raises $75,550. Gus Hansen calls $53,950. durrrr shows #4h#7d#2c#5h. Gus Hansen shows #Jd#Jh#5s#5d.
River #8d#Kd#6c#4c [#Qc]
That carnal was good satisfaction for durrrr to walk with $172,700 of Hansen's loot, and a week like his has been good tolerably to earn Hansen a spot mid the top 5 losers of the year, with a across-the-board of $1,115,113.
So even rather the holidays are here, we're unprovable elmariachimacho, Ziigmund or Hansen are much in mood to dress ship.
