Howard Lederer enters cash games once again! Howard has turned over most of his duties at Full Tilt Poker to others and has time to play cash games again. Howard is said to be the number one limit Holdem player in the world. I was really happy to see that hes not rusty at all from the second part of a 500 1000 limit session I caught at Full Tilt Poker. Howard was playing rafiboy and Da munsta short handed 500/1000 limit and showed that his poker prowess is still intact. Howard Lederer worked his stack up to 47k and exited the HEROS mixed game after his specialty of Holdem.

I think HEROS has same games as H.O.R.S.E but just different order? This way there isn’t 3 stud poker games in a row….

Howard stated on a Poker Road interview that hes been busy with the day to day operations of Full Tilt and hasn’t had time to play. Recently he limited himself to less duties, so he can
play poker full time again. Howard Lederer has a background in strategy games and plays chess at a master level! Howard learned to play poker in a New York chess club that he used to work for and later started playing higher stakes at the Mayfair Club. Recently he invited his old friends form the Mayfair Club for a tournament on Poker After Dark.

Wednesday night proved to be a night of big action on Full Tilt Poker. The biggest tables on the site were occupied by some of the greatest in the game. In the Ivey Thunderdome, Phil Ivey played Tom Dwan AKA Durrrr heads up at $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha, while a five handed game of No Limit Hold Em went on at the same limit, including Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan and Ivey, LawsLuzak, who was up to a stack of $432k as we joined action, and top online pro Emil Patel AKA whitelime. Action didn’t take long, as Phil Ivey and Antonius engaged in a big pot in NLHE.

Sorry about these pics, the watermark process destroyed them and I lost originals.

Is Elmariachimacho the biggest loser at Full Tilt Poker? In my last post I showed that Tom Dwan aka Durrrr is the biggest winner at over 5 million. In this post I’ll go over the biggest loser and who the account is alleged to belong to. Durrrr won over 5 million and most of that was from Elmariachimacho. Elmariachimacho has lost 1,460,000 to Tom Dwan according to the high stakes cash game stats.

Is it really 1.4 million or is it allot more? The account is alleged to belong to Guy Laliberte who is the owner of Cirque du Soleil and is worth billions. It is rumored that he also plays under the names
Patatino, Noataima, and Lady Marmelade. If this is true that would put Guy’s total online losses at around 8 million dollars. That’s nothing for this self made billionaire who enjoys playing poker for fun. Will he be able to turn his game around and take down the best players in the world? Andy Beal tried and almost broke them, but that was for much higher stakes. The pros eventually sent Andy Beal packing for home and claiming he would never play again. Will Guy do the same? I doubt it, he enjoys poker and a couple of million is nothing to him.

Tom Dwan is winning against:

Almost half of his winnings may be coming from Guy Laliberte who is supposedly playing under the poker screen names patatino, lady marmelade, and Elmariachimacho. One the other hand, hes winning 2 million off of the best online poker players like Patrik Antonius and Andrew Roble AKa Good2cu.

Hes having a little trouble with Phil Ivey, David Benyamine, and Sami Kelopuro aka Larsluzak. I’m sure towards next years WSOP, we will see him practicing HORSE to get ready for the 50k horse event. Then we will see him clashing with David Benyamine and Gus Hansen a little man than he already is.
For right now hes trying to keep his title of the biggest winner in the online poker games form Phil Ivey and Omgclayaiken.
