Durrrr pushing $2m in Hold'em profit for Oct.

durrrr: So hot right now.

By Christopher Hunt

If there's anything to be learned from Tom "durrrr" Dwan's crushing of high-stakes online Hold'em this month, it's this: Light five-betting is so hot right now.

Proving yet again why there's no one more feared at the high-stakes tables, Dwan was up to his usual last night at the now almost daily sessions on Full Tilt Poker's $500/$1,000 No-Limit Hold'em tables.

Busting out of the Bellagio $15k late in the day at the hands of Daniel Negreanu, he consoled himself with a little high-stakes multi-tabling and, also as per usual, made poker seem easy.

Which it is, naturally, when you five-bet all-in pre-flop with J 3 and turn the flush for a $200k pot - as he did to the unfortunate "lolzcapaneo" early this morning, who made the mistake of calling with queens and failing to improve.

When he finally packed it in for the session, durrrrr had racked up another $568,319 in Hold'em profit for today, pushing his Hold'em earnings to a healthy $1,945,560 for October so far.

No end in sight for his earning potential either, it seems, as the two marquee tables at Full Tilt (GusHeaven and RailHeaven) have seemingly become a proving ground for young unknowns and rich dabblers these days, with several lesser-known - and lesser-feared - players stepping up for a shot at the big time.

Among them: Maxime "BeepBeepImaJeep" Villemure, the fishy "lady marmelade" (reputedly Guy Laliberté), young upstart Bryn "OneUponaStar" Kenney, and unknown players named "Nizot Skizared" and "jcreachbaum1."

As expected, you can find most of the lesser-knowns high atop the money losers list with lady marmalade (-$436,394), lolzcapaneo (-$201,987) and OneUponaStar (-$113,493) all down big numbers today. See the full list for the last week, month and year here.

Things can change quickly at the high stakes, however, and another big session is brewing on both tables today, with Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro leading the charge and sitting on a $500k stack at the moment. Rail all the action here.
