Noah Boeken
A couple of days before that, Jungleman also called out Viktor "Isildur1" Blom in the chatbox to return a $80,000 loan Cates gave him. This happened after a hand where Blom won a $350,000 pot off Cates, while Isildur1 was winning $700,000 during the session.
Jungleman is currently the year's biggest winner, he's up $2.8 million, but is closely followed by mix game specialist Trueteller, who has racked up $2.45 million this year.
Gus Hansen is one the winner's list for a change, he won $600,000 at the 8-game tables this week, and also took down the biggest pot of the month. He raised and got into a raising war with Alexander "PostflopAction" Kostritsyn which ended with Gus being all in for $166,000. Gus held KK while Alexander had QQ, and the Dane's hand managed to hold up, and he scooped the $333,000 pot.
Many things can be said about Gus, but you can't call him a quitter, although he usually goes into a huge downswing after good weeks like this. He is always bouncing back though, his big win came after a huge downswing that saw him losing $1,5 million in the first week of August.
The biggest loser of the week, Chun "samrostan" Lei Zhou has lost $568,000, and if we add this to his loss of $700,000 last week, he is already down $6 million this year. Chun Lei Zhou is rumored to be the biggest winner in the Macao high stakes games, but he jus't can't catch a break at the online tables.
