High-Stakes Poker November 2010: Key Players and Notable Events

In early November, FullTilt introduced dro- games, attracting many professionals. The dro- games were mainly played on tables $1,000/$2,000 and $1,500/$3,000 2-7 with triple exchange. Players like fishosaurusREX, Йан «bixiu» Чен, Фил Гальфонд, Брайан Гастингс, Эйб «EazyPeazy» Моссери, Патрик Антониус, Гас Хансен, Том Дван, Джон Джуанда, Джаред «harrington25» Блезник, and Рами «Arbianight» Букай frequently appeared at these tables.

Patrik Antonius learned the rules of the game directly during play, with guidance from David Oppenheim. David Oppenheim won a pot of $18,747 with A,5,4,3,2, while Patrik Antonius was confused about the hand's strength. Gus Hansen left a sit-out, causing the entire table to follow, and later returned, joking about Phil Ivey's weakness in lowball and limit hold'em.

Phil Ivey played a short session against Daniel Cates, losing around $70,000 in 20 minutes. jungleman12 increased his bankroll by $824,000 over 20,000 hands of Omaha and No-Limit Hold'em in November. Patrik Antonius and jungleman12 discussed the proportion of PLO and NLHE games, settling on one table of each. Daniel Cates tweeted about a crazy session against Patrik Antonius, ending up in the plus despite a $450,000 loss at one point. Gus Hansen ended the month in the plus but was likely not satisfied with his performance. Gus Hansen was accused of stealing buttons at a $500/$1,000 PLO table. cadillac1944, possibly Säm Farha, had significant wins and losses in November, including a $740,000 win against Tom Dwan.
