Ivey Strong, Hansen Still Struggling
Published on September 21st, 2013 2:50 pm ESTThere is a bit of a lull right now in the poker world, as the World Series of Poker Europe is still a few weeks off.
With many high stakes regulars currently taking a break from the tour, the action has turned to online high stakes cash games. Over the past week or so, there have been a number of marathon sesssions on Full Tilt Poker that have included some of the biggest names in the world.
The biggest beneficiary of this increase in action? "IReadYrSoul", who has managed to rake in a total of $1,684,632 over a total of 3,972 tracked hands.
A number of other players have managed to crack the $500,000 mark in profits so far this month. They are:
"Denoking", $698,242
"luvtheWNBA", $694,756
"ragen70", $631,566
"Polarizing", $583,710
"Polarizing", which is the alias used by Phil Ivey on Full Tilt Poker, has been particularly active so far this month (by his standards, at least), putting in a total of 8,598 tracked hands. Ivey has managed to put aside his current legal situation with Crockfords to win a little over $580,000.
