Nosebleed regular Rui ‘PepperoniF’ Cao saw his recent barren run come to an end on Wednesday as he dominated the high stakes cash game tables on PokerStars.

Cao needed only 1,204 hands to cement his standing as one of the most talented Pot Limit Omaha players on the virtual felt. The Chinese born pro eventually logged off with a $143,000 profit.

‘L0ve2playU’ and ‘Fake Love888′ both suffered at the hands of Cao at the $100 / $200 stakes. Cao’s latest exploits have increased his upswing for the calendar year to $1.3 million. Only Andreas Torbergsen and Rafi Amit have earned more during 2011.

While Viktor ‘Isildiur1′ Blom and Phil ‘MrSweets28′ Galfond continued to take a short break from the online game in mid-week, Benny ‘toweliestar’ Spindler added another $61,000 to his bankroll.

The German pro has been on a huge tear in recent weeks and has now won more than $700,000 on PokerStars this year. Ben ‘Ben86′ Tollerene also prospered, when he took down $49,000 in various games.

Davin ‘mTw-DaviN’ Georgi posted a rare downswing on the world’s largest poker site. Georgi donated $118,000 to his opponents but still remains in the black by $342,000 for the year.

‘Love2playU’ joined Georgi in the losing column. Georgi failed to arrest the downswing posted against Cao and eventually finished with deficits of $97,000. ‘FlipflopUK’ (-$113,000), ‘Deldar182′ (-$55,000) and ‘mikzoan’ (-$50,000) rounded out the biggest losers online.
