TaxHere wins $140k in one day in the Cash Game World Championship
And look away now Linus fans, he lost a similar amount in the same session. Check out the latest from the CoinPoker World Championships leaderboard.
If you ever wanted to get a sense for the swings in high stakes cash game poker, this is your primer. It's very scary up there at the nosebleeds.
Just yesterday we were swooning over DavyJones922 for being the first player to win more than $100k.
Now, on Day 5, we saw one player win more than that amount in a single session. And we are still only a week into the series.
We are talking about TaxHere Paque, who has leapfrogged into the lead with $176,244 in $EV and $157,608 in real money winnings.
Big swings on Day 5
TaxHere won $140,000 in EV in a single session, most of which came at the expense of LLinusLLove. Considered one of the greatest in the game, Linus is down more than $160k after 11,000 hands. He is also running $50k below EV in the series so far.
SeaLlama is also making strides and is up $82k in $EV and almost $100k in real money winnings. He sits in third place just behind TaxHere and DavyJones922.
One player who is having a, shall we say, mixed series is Lukabrate, who sits in a positive position in the leaderboard, but is down $35,871 in real money terms, so there is a $48,850 gap between his $ EV and his actual losses. The only player running worse than him is Linus, with a $53,377 gap in expectation.
There are 54 players now in the series after just one week, meaning it is on course to be the biggest one ever at the High Stakes price point.
