A major talking point among high stakes poker fans this week has been the outstanding performance of the so-far-unidentified German player using the handle “Trueteller”, who has been ripping up the 2-7 Triple Draw ($1k/$2k and $1.5k/$3k) nosebleed tables on Full Tilt, earning the top spot for the week on $970,000, and bringing his profits this year to almost $2 million.
He took most of it from feared and respected online high stakes players like Julius “Kagome, Kagome” Fleischer, Viktor “Isildur1” Blom and Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, inflicting so much damage to their bankrolls that they ended up on the big losers’ list, according to a High Stakes Data Base report.
Fleischer actually finished as the week’s biggest loser, dropping $800,000 and taking his account into around $1.5 million in red ink for the year.
Biggest pot of the week came about in a NLHE tussle involving Chun “samrostan” Lei Zhou, Viktor “Isildur1” Blom and Mikael “punting-peddler” Thuritz, and resulted in a pay-out of $306,472 to the victorious Thuritz.
Biggest winners this week, according to the HSDB were:
Trueteller: $970,000
Carlooo13: $398,000
Ben Bttech86 Tollerene: $368,000
