Phil ‘MrSweets28′ Galfond ended a barren run of form by booking a substantial $368,000 profit in high stakes cash games on the world’s largest poker site, PokerStars, on Wednesday.

Galfond had been in a rut for several days prior to his huge win which saw him thrash the red hot Andreas ‘skjervoy’ Torbergsen at the Heads-Up Pot Limit Omaha tables in mid-week.

The 26 year-old also enjoyed lucrative $200 / $400 PLO sessions against Ilari ‘Ilari FIN’ Sahamies, ‘socutiesf’ and Rafi ‘rafaelamit’ Amit and eventually logged off after 2,236 hands with a notable six figure upswing.

Galfond is now well on the road to recovery after a bleeding a significant chunk of his bankroll during the last ten days. The Vancouver, Canada resident is up $483,000 for the calendar year.

Ilari ‘Ilari FIN’ Sahamies also bounced back after several disappointing sessions. The nosebleed regular crushed the $200 / $400 Six-Max games for an impressive $183,000.

While the Finn continues to live up to his ‘King of ‘Swing’ tag he has now taken down $534,000 on the virtual felt during 2011. ‘socutiesf’ (+$110,000) and ‘VietRussian’ (+$149,000) rounded out the top four winners online.

Torbergsen’s woes against Galfond contributed to one of his worst evenings in months as he donated $470,000 in total. However, ‘skjervoy’ remains the biggest winner on PokerStars this year with profits of $1.49 million.

Rafi ‘rafaelamit’ Amit failed to buck a losing trend on Wednesday as he bled another $219,000. Team PokerStars Pro Viktor ‘Isildur1′ Blom, who only played 105 hands, also dropped $80,000.
