Online poker player ‘Ilvdnfl’ was the big winner on PokerStars in mid week after taking down $173,000 in various high stakes cash games.
‘Ilvdnfl’, who is rumored to nosebleed regular Di Dang, benefitted from several lucrative $100/$200 Pot Limit Omaha sessions against ‘MauriceSch’ and ‘Also11′ on the world’s biggest online poker site on Wednesday.
Those figures pushed his profits for the week past the $350,000 mark. The PLO specialist is now on an upswing of $741,000 for the calendar year.
Cash games on rival sites have been quiet this week as the likes of Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius are competing in the Aussie Millions in Melbourne.
David Benefield posted the best figures on Full Tilt Poker. Benefield won $91,000 in lengthy PLO exchanges. Van Marcus (+$45,000) also prospered.
Dang, who plays under the ‘Urindanger’ alias on Full Tilt, failed to generate any heat despite his alleged successes at PokerStars. He ended the evening with losses of $106,000.
However, Dang has been one of the front runners during the early stages of 2011 and if the rumors are to be believed, is now on an upswing of around $1.5 million for both of his online accounts.
There were several big losers on PokerStars as ‘MauriceSch’ (-$104,000) and ‘Sauce123′ (-$104,000) dropped six figure sums. ‘Also11′ (-$77,000) and ‘Looney Gerbil’ (-$73,000) rounded out the top four.
