Sorry if this out of context, who is Kalapoju? I have seen him on all stakes from 200z up to 5k HU in Stars, every day, and since I am a long time lurker in the thread, I have seen him play HU for several years.
I am not interested who the person is per say(maybe he wants to remain anonymous and I respect that), but mostly if he is considered a high stakes player and should be on the list. If he is already on the list and I missed him, I'm sorry once again.
Also, great work on the new list of high stakes players, thanks to all the posters who have contributed to it. I also think that some old school players should stay there fwiw.

Kayhan Mokri (GG) = kayhanmok (PS)

* lol voidaments (WPN): Andrew Graham (OhHeyCindy on PS)
* oneplusone (WPN): Via Negativa (GG)
* PathfinderPaco (WPN): Priit Parmasto (GG)
* TheMestresis (WPN): GivmtheTriangle (GG)

These were all posted in this thread a couple of months ago (not sure how accurate they are just copy and pasting these ones)

Oh wow Vasilyev the PLO strike breaker is actually St1ckman? Makes so much sense

FT of the WCOOP NLHE Main Event

Of course Lena900

Man Lena is running so pure in that FT, can't even count how many times he has had QQ+.

steffan vs makeboifin 20knl HU

https://pokerking.winningpokernetwor...a77d16df199da9

anyone know who huntersnr1 seems to play a lot of 20knl and joined in for a bit.

ILS007 plays once a year and leads from bb20 to finish in 10k main. girafganger states one week ago he's going to win $2m very soon then wins GG 5k main a week later. ****ing cartoon world mate. One thing I can gtee to all u giraffe streamboys, he WON'T be going to Triton

Only got 4th for "only" 400k,considering he prob had half a million or more prob in BI in wcoop we don't even know if he's up overall. But prob yes, as he is goated and has been printing forever now. Would be amazing to see some graphs, but most hs regs are blocked on SS.

Idk if iam mixing this up, but one hs streamer one time recently in stream Was saying that either Lena oder cdarwin used to play baked a lot (forgot which one of them, but 99% sure was one of them) ^^ not that it's important and or true (we can't confirm anyways), but would be interesting. Secret cheat mode maybe, kappa.

Who is ILS007?

Ivan „ILS007“ Stokes

It's super overlooked that Darwin and Lena made millions back when highstakes regs were playing like $100 avg bi because there wasn't higher stakes tourneys running. There really isn't that many guys that were killing it back then and still are considered endboss regs.

Personally, I think a link to the thread would be better than including even more names. If you want to view a list of the old school players then there's 100+ threads you can choose from to take a look at that. Ideally, I think it'd be best to remove the 100+ links to previous high stakes threads that we have to scroll past all the time and include a master link. That could look like this in place of "Legacy List":

Useful info for this list:

• AbsoluteTopUp's full name, if public
• EnfantProdige name, if public
• Is "Via Negativa" oneplusone's real name, or is that their account name on GG?
• Any interesting social media links to attach to these players? Blogs, interviews, podcasts, twitch etc.
• Any further suggestions? Probably stick to people who play a substantial amount of 2knl+ as a minimum.

Sanita55 seems to be playing anyone at PLO all the time on Stars, is his GG nickname known or does he not play there?

gg stopped allowing trackign by sharkscope i think 2 months ago, in which time he binked another milly in a very big 10k a week or so ago.
