Patrik Antonius continued his long standing rivalry with ‘Kagome Kagome’ (formerly ‘IHateJuice’) on Monday evening as the duo played out over 500 hands of $3,000/$6,000 Limit Hold’em on the virtual felt.
Antonius dominated the latter stages of the exchange and ended with an impressive upswing of $410,000. The talented Finn has had the upper hand recently having taken his opponent to the cleaners for $221,000 last month.
‘Kagome Kagome’, a Limit specialist from Europe, had to change his name earlier this week after a request from Full Tilt bosses. The poker room had apparently had complaints that the user name carried an anti-Semitic tone.
Gus Hansen continued his promising early year form with a profit of $90,000 in various cash games. The ‘Great Dane’ is in the black for 2011, after a difficult six months which saw him bleed over $1.5 million late last year.
The arrival of Team PokerStars sponsored pro Viktor ‘Isildur1′ Blom continues to have the desired effect on the world’s biggest poker site’s high stakes cash game action.
There were a host of players taking down six figure sums, including ‘LuckyGump,’ who recorded the evening’s best figures of +$181,000.
‘Refaelamit’ (+$152,000) and Finnish poker pro Ville Wahlbeck (+$133,000) rounded out the top three.
‘Kagome Kagome’ (-$410,000) was the biggest loser of the night. ‘lefty2506′ (-$187,000), ‘nutsinho’ (-$162,000), ‘Buharmak’ (-$98,000) and Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang (-$90,000) also dropped significant amounts.
