Even if Ivey is first in the ranking of the most winning player of the year it is probably Boosted j who is the Best online Player

 

[BP62]

i dnt have much knowlendge on this but whenever patrick antonius is on fulltilt i watch n he allways makes 300-500 thousand in a session so i would say him

 

[zachvac]

Also note most high-stakes players play games like HORSE and PLO as well. I think Ivey's in the top few in like every single game, not positive though.

Jeroen's post pretty much puts an end to the discussion - for those that couldn't decipher it, the top 10 in winnings this year are:

Phil Ivey: $6.923.025,89
trex313: $3.419.512,82
OMGClayAiken: $3.275.853,74
durrrr: $3.226.148,34
Urindanger: $3.069.864,03
David Benyamine: $2.939.865,49
howisitfeellike: $2.742.905,60
CHUFTY: $2.368.891,85
Gus Hansen: $1.874.440,32
Ziigmund: $1.867.493,41

Note that Patrick Antonius isn't among them - there's a possible explanation for that though, he's only been playing under his own name at Full Tilt since the middle of the year.

Largest hand wasn't deuces for $600K, BTW - Urindanger won a $723,938 pot when his aces beat Durrr's kings in late October.

Actually, something else to think about - below are the ten biggest winners tracked by HighStakesDB since they started keeping records at the beginning of 2007:

Phil Ivey: $8.919.759,30
Urindanger: $4.368.508,94
David Benyamine: $4.089.187,79
OMGClayAiken: $3.889.096,08
durrrr: $3.538.326,23
KaiBuxxe: $3.186.717,60
howisitfeellike: $2.771.917,85
trex313: $2.619.416,47
pr1nnyraid: $2.608.053,88
FinddaGrind $2.341.627,11

The top seven on this year's list appear above. Interesting to note that Gus Hansen doesn't appear twice though - he may be up this year, but it demonstrates what the swings in his game can be like.

Antonius (FinddaGrind) makes it in at #10 under his old username, suggesting you can probably expect his new name to eventually wind up on the biggest winners list.

Also interesting is that Niki Jedlicka (KaiBuxxe) is #6 on this list, but his new name is #5 on the biggest losers since January 2007 list as well at -$2.186.883,24.

HighStakesDB doesn't track pokerstars games (or Party / Ultimate Bet / etc) so this is basically a list of who's won bit on Full Tilt - I don't think any of the other sites really offer nosebleed action anyway though?

Well I think that last post just about sums it all up. This doesn't pertain to big money, but I do know that Chris Ferguson made 10,000 dollars for charity on Full Tilt by starting with nothing in the play money section and winning tournaments where the prize was entry into a real money tournaments.

 

[ABorges]

Really depends what game you're talking about...

NL Cash: Probably Durrrr, with many others like Antonius, Phil Galfond and the Dang brothers right behind.

MTTs: So many... AJKHoosier, sctrojans, belowabove and Moorman are amazing, but there are too many to mention.

SNGs: livb112 seems to do well for himself at HU sngs, don't know many sng experts though...

The best all around player is really tough to determine, they're all really specialize at one sort of game, but I think it's safe to say it's easier to translate your success from cash games to tourneys than the other way around. This guy called rivermanl on stars seems to crush everything there is to play though, so watch out for him. When you take into account those other fuzzy stud games and stuff it's even harder to just pick one player.

 

[lpcjr]

I like Ivey or Hansen for the best all around players.

 

[mparker876]

Wow, Ivey completely dominates the field. He is soooo the man.

On a side note, does anybody know if Ivey's ever written a book?

 

[shiver]

does anyone know who has made the most money online?

I only read the 1st page but didnt get a mention?, although I would probably try and talk my way out of it. (being very monest)

I would guess at the bloke (person) that owns Pokerstars or partypoker

a few months ago I won a $10 SnG Double or Nothing. impressed?

 

[chillywill420]

Erick lindgrin is the best

No, I don't believe he has.
