The Online Railbird Report: Two Players Cross $1 Million Mark in Yearly Winnings | PokerNews



The online high-stakes action picked up a little this week. “Patpatman” and Jens “Jeans89” Kyllönen became the first two players to cross the $1 million mark in yearly winnings with $1,023,489 and $1,000,637, respectively. Last week, Viktor “Isildur1” Blom and Sander “Berndsen12” Berndsen dominated the poker headlines, but this week saw a different cast of characters.

For instance, Rafi “refaelamit” Amit finished as the week’s biggest winner, banking $376,504 in profit over 8,522 hands. Likewise, Kyllönen finished fourth on the weekly-winner’s list by winning $162,951 in 13,092 hands. “0Human0” won $220,834 over 6,014 hands and “masoren” pocketed $210,999 in 3,284 hands putting them in second and third, respectively.

It was a bad week for Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies because he became the week’s biggest loser after dropping $385,766 through 5,824 hands. A little further behind, “long90110” (-$238,386 in 4,419 hands), Benny “toweliestar” Spindler (-$153,656 in 22,742 hands), and “altiFC” (-$147,352 in 1,253 hands) rounded out the top three.
