Recently we have not seen so much high stakes no limit hold’em action at Full Tilt Poker, but the PLO sessions are getting huge! The pots are getting even bigger and the action is getting even sicker. Six-figure stacks are so normal in these tables nowadays, that maybe it would be a time to Full Tilt Poker open even bigger PLO tables?

Yesterday Brian Hastings completely destroyed everybody at Full Tilt Poker, booking a huge $760k win. Ziigmund was the next biggest winner with around $240k won. Gus Hansen was by far the biggest loser with around $775k dropped! At one point during the day Ziigmund had three $180k stacks at the tables with Brian Hastings having around $500k in play at the same time.

Here are some of the biggest hands of the session:

Gus “The Great Dane” Hansen found a great difficulty in laying down a mediocre hand against Ziigmund:

Ziigmund’s wrap end up being better hand than Hansen’s aces:

Ziigmund wins a huge hand against Brian Hastings when his opponent tries to check raise him away from the pot on the turn with a semi bluff:

Gus Hansen was the biggest loser yesterday and actually lost more than what Hastings won, when he dropped $775k! Most of his money went away on the omaha tables, as he lost $747k playing pot limit omaha! That sure is the weakest game of Hansen, but he stubbornly wants to play it against anybody! Bad for Gus, good for us!
