The weeks leading up to and during the WSOP are normally offering a lot less online high stakes action, compared to other periods of the year. This holds for now as well but this time, the drop is not as significant as expected. This is due to the facts that some of the sharks have not yet departed for Las Vegas and the frenzy of the series, as well as that a number of newcomers try to take a shot at the highest levels, while the big dogs are off to the WSOP.
Two of the most active players of the stakes are newcomers: ‘Johnbest’ has played 10,214 hands in the month so far, while ‘lima81’ is currently at 9,917. ‘Lima81’ appeared at the HS tables after the re-launch of FTP but played little. Now, however, he is playing on a daily basis, even though failing to make the best of it with -$178,861 to his name.
‘Johnbest’ is also down $53,460. He came first to the field in 2011 but his initial attempts were cut short by Black Friday. He returned only in this March after the re-launch and he has been speeding up this month.
Arguably the most successful greenhorn is ‘knezeef’, who is currently 5th on the June profit list with $262,318 in winnings in 1,417 hands. Other notable players to take their shots are ‘hotmark777’ ($65,246), ‘MightyMatz’ ($57,929), ‘Kamaldon’ ($37,311), ‘che_aka_blacx’ (-$12,621) and ‘schickelgruber’ (-$23,331), to name just a few.
Of course, the seasoned pros remain to dominate the field in June as well: Hac ‘trex313’ Dang is in the lead with $1,097,560 in profits, ahead of ‘kagome kagome’ ($644,957) and ‘KPR16’ ($554,797). ‘Trex313’ won $466,802 in a single session in $200/$400 PLO on Tuesday, mainly from ‘Vaga_Lion’.

The person who has lost the most in June so far is probably of little surprise to most fans: Gus Hansen is already down $1,483,093 this month. The Danish FTP Pro runs terribly this year; even though it seemed he could come back in May, finishing runner-up on the monthly profit list with $829,140 in winnings, his upswing has apparently not lasted long. He has a total of $3,457,618 in losses this year, having by far the worst stats for 2013.
