New Poker Shooting Star?

A new possible poker shooting cash game star has emerged at PokerStars. Last week, a newer player named "!P0krparty¡" was crushing the $10/$20 PLO tables at PokerStars with an incredible win rate that at point reached as high as 23bb/100 over 23k hands. He sat with over $288k on 10 tables, just about unheard of at $10/$20. Building on that massive momentum, he has played a 36 hour straight session the last couple days that has seen him move up to the $50/$100 PLO tables.

When you play such a long multi-tabling high stakes PLO session there are bound to be huge swings both in and against your favor. In the end, "!P0krparty¡" has profited with a tremendous +$247k profit. But during the extended session he was up around $200k, then down to $75k, then up to $330k profit before hitting his worst downswing to drop to a negative $200k before finally making a massive comeback to end with the nearly $250k two day profit. His comeback was in large part due to his big $134k win playing HU on four tables vs Frenchman Rui "PepperoniF" Cao, a respected top cash game player and one of the biggest winners on PokerStars in 2011.

Last week's hot player, Benny ‘psychobenny’ Spindler continues to rack up more wins this week, raising his monthly profit to around $600k.

Poker fans and forum junkies will follow the flight of this new player to see if he can rise and avoid crashing like fast rising players Viktor “Isildur1” Blom, Martonas and XWINK.
