Johnny Bax posted today that he is no longer an Ultimate Bet Pro and won’t be promoting them any longer. He was the original poster of the poker news and later gave another poster permission to post the reason why he is no longer sponsored. In a later post by sheets, he said “Ultimate Bet reneged on their deal with him”.

This is just from Johnny Bax’s side of the story, no information has been given out on Ultimate Bet’s side yet.

Johnny Bax real name is Cliff Josephy and is regarded as one of the best MTT players in the world. He actually won a bracelet in a seven card stud event with just a few pointers from “the Crew” just before the tournament.

This is just one of many shake ups that are going on in the online poker world. Clonie Gowen is no longer a red pro at Full Tilt and Doyle’s Room has pulled out of the U.S. market again.

The high stakes tables have been buzzing this month at Full Tilt Poker and the top five winners so far this month should come as a surprise to none. Chau Giang poker screen name La Key U is fifth on the list, winning $217,897 this month. Sami Kelopuro AKA LarsLuzark has been in the news quite a bit lately with his return to high stakes action online. He ranks #4 so far this month with $383,021 in winnings. Brian Hastings is up nearly $493,075 this month and ranks 3rd. Patrik Antonius comes in at the #2 spot with $825,869 in winning this month. The biggest money winner this month is the man, Phil Ivey. Phil Ivey has won $992,398 so far this month.

The biggest losers this month are just as interesting. David Benyamine comes in at #5 in our list of losers at $233,313 in the red. Matt Hawrilenko is #4 with $333,959 lost so far this month. Regista8 is in 3rd, losing $450,703 this month. John Juanda is donating back some of his WSOP Europe Main Event winnings to the poker community. He is down $732,597 so far, but he still doesn’t hold a candle to our top loser of the month. Lady Marmelade has lost a whopping $1,154,702 this month. This just compounds her overall losses. Right now, Lady Marmelade has lost over $2.68 Million this year in online poker.

The biggest pots won this month have all come courtesy of the RailHeaven table at Full Tilt Poker. RailHeaven can be considered the new Bobby’s Room of online poker. As expected Tom Dwan poker screen name durrrr was involved in many of the largest pots. In fact, he was in six of the top 10 pots so far this month. The largest was the 2nd largest pot of the month against lolzcapano. Pre-flop, durrrr made his typical raise to $3,000 and was called along by both John Juanda and Phil Ivey. Lolcapaneo raised to $16,500 and only durrrr made the call. The flop fell 3h-10c-7c and lolzcapaneo bet out $27,500. Durrrr made the call. On the turn of the Kd, lolzcapaneo bet out $46,500 and durrrr made the call yet again. The river fell the 5d and lolzcapaneo bet out $119,577. Durrrr made the call and showed pocket sevens for a set of sevens. Lolzcapaneo showed pocket jacks and durrrr took down a pot worth $428,151.

Saturday poker at Full Tilt Poker saw some of the biggest games take place on Full Tilt Poker. Patrik Antonius joined well known high stakes regulars Sami Kelopuro AKA ‘LarsLuzak’ and Ilari Sahamies aka ‘Ziigmund’ at the $500/$1000 No Limit Hold Em table. Both Patrik Antonius and ‘Ziigmund’ started above $200,000, while ‘LarsLuzak’ was sitting around $100,000. The game started off quick, and the first hand followed saw Antonius make a nice sized bet on the river. After timing down, ‘LarsLuzak‘ makes the call, but fell short to Antonius’ Ace-Jack, and lost about $60,000 in the hand.

It was at this time when action picked up at another table, a $2000/$4000 HORSE game between Eli Elezra, Patrik Antonius, and a player using the name of ‘world1969.’ The table, ironically, was named ‘Patrik Antonius.’ The game quickly gained power as three players, ‘Your_NIPMO’, ‘Ozzy 87’, and “LoLiNa’ joined in to fill the table. As the crazy action at HORSE picked up, the high stakes no limit game broke as Antonius beat up on the other players. Antonius kept his roll on, winning a $25,000 pot in the following hand.

Gus Hansen and ‘whitelime’, who made a big splash with his runner up finish in the $25,000 Heads-up Championship, joined in on the no limit action, picking up the pace a bit. ‘Ziigmund’ made a huge overbet against Hansen, putting Hansen all in for $50,000 after only a $3,000 raise pre-flop from Hansen. Gus called, and this is how the hand played out.

Now there are 2 “Big Games”! One is at the famous Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas and the other is the $2,000/$4,000 H.O.R.S.E. game at Full Tilt Poker. Both are limit mixed games, but Bobby’s game is $4,000/$8000. The game is basically the same since there are probably three hands played at Full Tilt Poker for every one at Bobby’s. Some of the players
at Full Tilt include Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Eli Elezra, John Juanda, and many more.

Here you can see how big the pots get in this nose bleed limit game. Phil Ivey rivers a set to scoop the huge poker pot.
