High Stakes Pokerstar Report, 2008
Hey all, Happy Newyear.
The year 2008 had pretty much everything we could hope for.
The new $500/1000 tables introduced on Full Tilt Poker let us see a lot of new records being hit, and we also had over 60 hands where the pot size reached $400.000 or more!
The largest online poker hand ever was won by Urindanger and had a staggering pot size of $723k.
On several occasions we also saw players sitting with more than $1 million on the tables and Ziigmund ended December with a new record when he left one table with over $1.4 million.
Largest winners in 2008: Profit:
Phil Ivey--------------- +$7,54 million
