David Benyamine, "LoLiNa" and Gus Hansen are all putting in strong months on Full Tilt Poker so far this month. Benyamine is having an especially strong month, having earned just over $1.07 million dollars so far in August. "LoLiNa" has made approximately $833k in the high stakes cash games, while Hansen had added an additional $634k to his summer profits.
This summer has been especially kind to David Benyamine. Not only is Benyamine up over $1.7 million since the beginning of June, but he has also done extremely well in live tournament action. Since the beginning of June, Benyamine has over $1.5 million in live cashes, including his first WSOP bracelet in the $10k Omaha Hi/Lo Championship, and a second place finish at the Bellagio Cup IV Main Event (which was good for over $840k.
Gus Hansen has completely turned around his year online by earning an estimated $1.793 million dollars since the beginning of June. Hansen has gone on an incredible tear, erasing his million dollar plus losses on Full Tilt over the course of just a few months.
"LoLiNa", as mentioned, has also had a strong August, posting a total profit of $833k over 10,492 tracked hands (information courtesy of HighStakesDB, link below). "LoLiNa" has posted a total profit of $1.64 million dollars since the beginning of June.
Other players who have had a strong month so far include: "sunra18" (+$586k), Tom "durrrr" Dwan (+$400k) and Brian Hastings (+$381k).
On the flip side - the biggest loser so far in August is "SteveSung", who has posted a total loss of $728k for the month. Even with this loss, "SteveSung" is still up approximately $350k on FTP in 2008.
"patatino" has dropped an additional $680k to the high stakes cash games in August, bringing his total losses for the year up to a staggering $2.8 million dollars.
That's bad, but not as bad as "lady marmelade". "lady marmelade" has dropped over $3.1 million dollars so far in 2008 over 25,891 tracked hands. This means that "lady marmelade" has lost an average of $120.33 for every hand that he has played on Full Tilt in 2008. "patatino" and "lady marmelade" are both rumored to be accounts that belong to billionaire Guy Laliberte. It's hard to think of anyone else that could sustain such huge losses but still keep playing.
Other well-known names that have had weak months on Full Tilt include:
David Singer (-$411k), Eli Elezra (-$349k), "pr1nnyraid" (-$321k) and Allen Cunningham (-$243k).
