Jungleman12 is May’s biggest high stakes winner
The high stakes games haven’t exactly been booming this month but that’s largely because Isildur1 has been conspicuous by his absence and many of the regulars have taken to playing the capped games where only 40BBs can be bet per hand.

Gus Hansen on fire; wins $300,000
The start of Gus Hansen’s 2010 has been much better than his 2009. Well, he was up over $2m at one point but now he’s up $550,000 which is much better than his March status of down almost a million.

Patrik Antonius back to even for 2010
If most people were up almost $50,000 from poker in five months we’d be ecstatic. Patrik Antonius is probably quite happy with that result also – for him it’s not a great deal of money but it marks the official end of a $4m hole.

Ziigmund smashes Townsend for over $400k
Brian Townsend has still not had a very good 2010. He stepped up to challenge Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies at heads-up $200/$400 PLO yesterday and soon stepped down after losing at a rate of 500BBs every 100 hands, eventually dropping $482,000 in just 242 hands.

Gus Hansen loses $600k as Ivey takes on Griffin
A lot went on at the high stakes tables on Full Tilt over the weekend – we’ve told you about Tom Dwan taking on jungleman12 but the day after that everyone wanted a piece of the action – Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, Ashton Griffin and Brian Townsend all managed to win or lose six figures on Sunday.
Antonius wins $60k in long Durrrr Challenge game.
Of the near-$4m Antonius had lost so far this year, he has won back over $2.7m which is probably why the durrrr challenge – thought to be dead by many – returned to Full Tilt’s tables last night.
