Weekly High Stakes Report: Gus Returns, ‘Jungleman’ Breaks $10 Million Mark

High stakes action is not subsiding one little bit. Nosebleeds tables, especially on Full Tilt, seem to be busting with action almost every day and last week we've seen, once again, hunderds of thousands dollars exchange hands between players.

According to HighstakesDB, Sunday was a big day for Alex 'Alexonmoon' Luneau who ended up profiting just shy of $351K playing mixed game against the regulars like Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom, samrostan, punting-peddler. One name that joined the action as well, at the delight of all the railbirds, was Gus Hansen.

Gus had a good day at the tables and finished with the profit of $123,000. 'samrostan' was able to continue his heater and profited antoher $277K. Daniel 'jungleman12' Cates took on Denoking on NLHE heads up tables and ended up dropping $96.4K to him according to HighstakesDB.

Then on Monday, Trueteller, who also made small profit on Sunday, continued his strong seven-day winning streak. Playing high-stakes 2-7 TD tables, 'Trueteller' pocketed nearly $230K. Gus Hansen's comeback to the nosebleeds was also a good one, as he continued his winning ways, profiting $197,000 on 8-game tables, playing the usual suspects. 'Alexonmoon' also profited over $100K, and 'samrostan' was able to string a successful seven-day winning streak, just like 'Trueteller', by winning $66,000.

Tuesday was a big day for the German pro SanIker who had some ups and downs, but started the week with total profit of about $100K over the first two days. However, on Tuesday he finally came through as HighstakesDB has him on $322,000 profit. Gus also continued his winning ways as he walked away with $118K profit.

Daniel ‘jungleman12’ Cates had a huge day on Wednesday, as he ended up profiting just $1k shy of $700,000! This profit came from $200/$400 NLHE heads-up battle with Denoking which started on Sunday with Denoking getting off to a good start, but Cates was able to make up the difference and then earn another $620K on top of that. Alexander 'Postflopaction' Kostritsyn ran away with $657K profit that came from mixed game tables. Gus was also able to book another six-figure day after having very swingy times during 24-hour session, while punting-peddler earned $303,000. Alexonmoon also made nearly $300K profit.

hursday saw big profit go to Alexonmoon who ended up profiting $510K. Battling the regulars on highstakes 8-game tables, he made more than 60% of his profit during the morning session against ‘Isildur1’, Gus Hansen, ‘punting-peddler’ and others. Then his good fortune continued through the day and he ended up with more than half a million profit. Daniel ‘jungleman12’ Cates also made a hefty profit of $376,000 and Trueteller, who seems unstoppable, booked another $200K+ day. As for ‘punting-peddler’, HighstakesDB closed his day at just shy of $130K.

Topping the winners list on Friday was, once again, Trueteller, who took the profit from the 2-7 TD tables, as this is the game that clearly best fits him. He booked a profit of $290K continuing his winning streak. ‘punting-peddler’ also had a good day, winning $159.5K.

Saturday saw jungleman12 back in action, although this time he took a break from heads up and played for 26 hours straight, with just single one-hour break, at the tables with the likes of Gus Hansen, Viktor Blom and Niki Jedlicka. Finishing the day with $677K profit, Daniel Cates broke a $10 million in winnings on Full Tilt highstakes tables!
