Weekly High Stakes Report: Hansen up $4M for 2011, Antonius Loses Almost $1M

Gus Hansen wins big, Patrik Antonius loses nearly a million, and Ilari Sahamies and Isildur1 mix it up. Find out who won and who lost in online cash games at PokerStars and Full Tilt in our weekly high-stakes report.

Gus Hansen had a huge week, up more than $700,000, playing mostly games against the other player who has pushed the action at Full Tilt post-Black Friday, Patrik Antonius.

It was a big week at PokerStars, as well, as a lot of money changed hands, and there was a lot of action. Jeans89 led all players at PS with $179K in profit. Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies and Viktor “Isildur1″ Blom were both busy, playing against each other and others. While Sahamies bested Blom in a session and ended up $145K in profit for the week, Blom bounced back and won $110K in other sessions.

While Isildur1 played more than 10,000 hands, he wasn’t the busiest player. Le kork (fifth place, $160K) played more than 14,000 hands.
