The end of the year typically sees a big rush at the high-stakes online poker tables, and although this November has had nowhere near the multi-million dollar swings we witnessed last year when Isildur1 made his appearance at the nosebleed tables on Full Tilt Poker, the action has been picking up as the year 2010 comes to a close and poker pros try to pad their winnings or get out of the red.
One player who is looking to turn his 2010 completely around is Gus Hansen, who up until a month ago was down over $3 million –add this to the over $5 million the Dane lost at the online poker tables last year and a disturbing trend was forming. However, since mid-October Hansen has been practically unbeatable and has wiped over $2 million of his losses off his books. Hansen is now down less than $1 million for the year, a number Gus would surely be happy to end the year with.
Also making a late push is Patrik Antonius, who just finished up a massive $500,000 win against ‘IHateJuice’ on the $2k/$4k Limit Holdem tables. Antonius is now up roughly $1.5 million for the year.
Going in the opposite direction is Finnish sensation Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies, who after a fast start has been on a terrible downswing that has left him down over $1.8 million for the year.
