Phil 'takechip' D'Auteuil Cleans Out NLHE games for $500k

No Limit Hold'Em high stakes cash games have played second fiddle to high stakes Pot Limit Omaha games for the last couple years now. All the biggest players seemed to move over to PLO. In the wake of Black Friday and traffic moving over to PokerStars, the NLHE games have been running more regularly although no real big winners to publicize until now. Phil 'takechip' D'Auteuil crushed a $200/$400 NLHE games over the last couple days for $500k.

D'Auteuil went on a a serious run taking $410k from just one table of heated action. The waiting list was over 20 players, indicating the interest and action that table was generating. He had taken $70k from games the day before, along with some wins at PLO too. But this monumental session over 300 hands over four hours where he crushed all competitors.

YianLu was the biggest loser in the game, losing $240k, while a clearly frustrated Richard 'nutsinho' Lyndaker lost $128k to continue his losing streak. He lost another $155k earlier in the day.

Former gamer, Benny ‘psychobenny’ Spindler also came out a winner on the day with $81k profit.
