Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang sat down to play some $200/$400 Cap Pot-Limit Omaha, but ended up walking away with a very disappointing showing. Since the game was a ‘capped’ game Dang was only able to lose $16K each hand. Dang clocked in 4,500 hands during the session, but his losses totaled up to be a whopping $495,000. Dang went up against players that consisted of Gus Hansen, Tom Dwan, and David Benefield. It won’t be long until we see Dang at the poker tables as he can easily come back to win it all back in his next session. |

2010 has been underway for a month and half now as new player of the year talks are beginning. Casey ‘bigdogpckt5s’ Jarzabek is currently the early leader for the Online Player of the Year, but it’s too soon into the new year to think this won’t change. Jarzabek has to look in the rear view mirror as 2008 runner up and 2009 winner of the award just cracked the top ten. Steve ‘gboro780’ Gross is now in 8th place as he plans on making a run for back to back titles. If past years are any indication then we should be seeing Gross near the top of the list come December. |
