The end of last week was packed with intense action at the online high stakes tables. The biggest winner was Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond, who played a number of game types – PLO, FLO8, 27TD, Mixed – on several stakes. The American WSOP champion performed incredibly well in all of them, hence he tried to motivate his fellow players to play even more.
Glafond even took the biggest pot of the day ($169,318) on a 5-handed PLO $150/$300 table:
‘OMGClayAiken’ opened to $1,300 from UTG, ‘durrrr’ on his left 3-bet to $4,600, ‘Ziigmund’ folded, ‘trex313’ from the SB called, ‘S3 TRX’ in the BB folded, ‘OMGClayAiken’ 4-bet to $20,500 and ‘durrrr’ and ‘trex313’ called. The flop came
9 J 
5 , ‘trex313’ shoved with $50,573, ‘OMGClayAiken’ called all-in with $40,483 and ‘durrrr’ followed suit with $27,202.

‘OMGClayAiken’ won the pot with a flush.
In the end, Galfond scooped in a total of $796,305.
In addition to Galfond’s run, Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom provided, as usual, the current hot topic in the online high stakes forums. Losing $476,987 at the same time as Galfond’s winnings is not very exciting news in itself, as the Swede is known for his extreme swings, not to mention still being the second biggest online high stakes winner of the year with $2,640,459. However, ‘Isildur1’ might have gone bankrupt, claiming a $5 million minus in live games. The credibility of a chatbox log is questionable but it is still in the centre of the community’s attention.
