Big names in all categories: Guss Hansen and heavy loss versus Niklas ‚ragen70’ Heinecker is high-stakes champion.
Like any other field, the online poker has its own statistics.
Thus, after leading the year rankings for nine months, Alexander ‘PostFlopAction’ Kostritsyn and Kyle ‘cottonseed1’ Hendon decided to withdraw from the sites of statistics, so it was Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom’s turn to dominate the high-stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker.
His site generated high fluctuations and the end of the year caught him in the red, after he had been in the black with over $3 millions.
A more constant gamer, German Niklas ‘ragen70’ Heinecker managed to make $6,190,599 in over 65,577 played this year, even though he had ranked the sixth in 2012 and not played in the first three months of 2013.
According to all absolute rankings, Phil Ivey is the greatest winner of all times in the online poker, with a profit of $19,242,744. The amount could have been higher if Ivey had not had an unlucky 2013 when he lost $2,441,773 in all 76,301 hands played during the 1,098 rounds.
While we are talking about year or absolute rankings, let’s see the biggest loser.
Gus Hansen had the worst year, with a minus of $8,461,472. He actually doubled the amount in 2012, when he placed the second in this ranking – he lost $3,204,539 at the Full Tilt tables (on second thoughts, he is the worst loser in the year of 2012, if we add the $1.093 millions at PokerStars).
The Dane player is currently the one with the highest money loss in the online poker, amounting to a minus of $14,891,778.
The 2014 high-stakes poker season debuts on February 26.
