Last week saw Viktor ‘Isuldur1’ Blom breaking his losing streak and emerging a winner after a long time. His inspiration has other stagnant players returning to claim their place in the sun. Interestingly, the favorite regulars have not been churning much this week, even though the action continues without any slag in sight.

Crazy Elior is this week’s largest grosser with $451,745, which he collected in 4,161 hands spread over 44 sessions. He made the majority of it with a $430.9K score on Monday and a bit of it over the last week
Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius is back after his hiatus since May. He made a collective $324.8K on the weekend alone. He accomplished gathering $389,772, in 13 sessions, consisting of 1,419 hands.
Sanlker, who was second biggest loser last week, recovers lost ground as he gains $184,506 in 33 sessions dealing 2,873 hands. Sanlker and Kagome Kagome had a great Tuesday, where both picked up $137.9K and $101.9K respectively.
Kagome Kagomeis another who emerges winning, after a few dull weeks to pocket $174,791 in 11 sessions and 600 hands.
Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond goes through 2,864 hands in 35 sessions to win $166.682. He captured a huge $115.7K of his earnings on Monday, finally breaking his jinxed August.
Among the Top Losers, there are many new names, though it seems Gus Hansen is on a really bad losing spree again this week, in spite of notching up $388.5K on Sunday.
Phil “Polarizing” Ivey is this week’s biggest loser. On Wednesday, he lost a large pot of $149.8K to KPR16, booking a total of $590.3K in losses throughout the week.
Samrostan is unable to halt his downslide this week either and is second largest loser this week, even though he did manage to chunk up a profit of $205.1K on Wednesday.
Trueteller, who was not really in any good form last week, now begins to show signs of wear, as he gets listed for losing a volume.
Follow The Hawk could not sustain his high ride of a couple weeks ago and is now on a losing spree.
A player who goes by n0d1ceb4by also posts losses these past 7 days. He lost a tidy sum of $132.7K in 943 hands to Phil Galfond on Tuesday.
