He clearly dominated the PLO tables, winning $1.2 million in 2784 hands, but he was also successful in 7-game, winning $96,619. Hold’em (both fix- and no-limit), however, cost him $310,000 in total.

Andreas ‘skjervoy’ Torbergsen, Patrik Antonius and Daniel ‘jungleman12’ Cates follow durrrr. Playing his favourite gametype, PLO, skjervoy won $755,211, while Antonius did quite well in several game types, including 7-game, PLO and NLHE, gaining a sum of $612,123. Jungleman12 played 7139 hands of NLHE heads-up and 4129 hands of PLO, winning $608,032 overall.

Surprisingly, both Phil Ivey and Isildur1 turn up on the losing side this month. However, even combined they cannot be measured to Ziggy, who got relieved of $2,048,572, playing 11,114 hands of PLO. He could only reduce his losses by winning $424,749 in 1511 hands of Omaha Hi/Lo.

Nearing the end of the year 2010, such winnings and losses can make a significant difference as regards the annual list, which is currently led by jungleman12 with $4,277,681 (110,771 hands played).
