I guess all the biggest winners in online poker last year would have came from the $25ks on GG. Anyone got any other shouts for biggest winner 2019?

Filtered for 2019

in

irrelevant since these guys probably had like 1-10% of themselves

chinese billionaires be stacking paper to the ceiling

How do you know that cashgame guys have 100% of themselves?

Also lol @ 1%, which would mean the 25k would be a 250$ mtt for them. Pretty sure everone playing a 25k would have the roll to play at least 1-2k, so 10% seems reasonable but maybe even more.

considering that limitless came to 2p2 looking for xbooks for those tournaments I think it's safe to say that he had at least 100% of himsels there

but how much did he lose

in

Linus playing some 50/100 HUPLO against Actionfreak, who is set to face Galfond in the challenge

Does anyone have any top ten lists from Russian PTR or similar showing top winners for last year? I know its not perfectly accurate but anything would be interesting at this point. I'd appreciate it and I'm sure others would too.

Thanks to all HH posters, Gargar, and all other contributors to the thread. Happy New Year everyone!
