High-Stakes Poker: Week in Review with Dwan, Hansen, Ivey, and Antonius


The high-stakes poker world saw significant action last week, with notable wins and losses among top players. Gus Hansen emerged as the biggest winner in cash games, earning +$504,840 over 7,961 hands.

Tom «Durrrr» Dwan had a tumultuous week, losing -$675,326 over 4,126 hands. Despite this, Dwan remains in a large profit for the year at +$3.6 million. He had a short but profitable session of 34 hands in 7-Card Stud on Thursday night, winning $147,000. On Sunday, Dwan won $129,000 playing heads-up Cap PLO against Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey at $500/$1000 limits. However, he lost $167,101 in a 6-max table session with Patrick Antonius and Phil Ivey.

Phil Ivey ended the weekend with a loss of $91,000 after a series of wins and losses throughout the week. Patrick Antonius played only 92 hands from Friday evening to Sunday evening, winning $67,187. Isildur1 returned to Full Tilt with a loss of $215,296 over 7,270 hands. On Monday, Tom Dwan won $631,000 in $500/$1000 Cap PLO, with a total profit of $252,211 for the night.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
