3 months have now passed on the new year. One must admit that the action at the high stakes tables has been over the expectations so far. This, even though Isildur1 hasn't been playing as crazy as last year. Anyhow, here are 2010's TOP 5 Winners.

durrrr has started this very well and won lots of money but he has habit of going on a losing streak now and then. but never heard of Alex and Urindanger , lets see if they can maintain their good run
High stakes seems to be dominated by PLO these days. I can see why the pros would prefer it, with much smaller preflop edges playing tight wont get you as far as in any non deep stacked holdem games.
Durr on high stakes poker season six is sick. He hasnt made a single bad move yet. He has hit a lot but he has also made good value bets and good bluffs along with never paying anyone else off.
He is another Russian prodigy. Won Aussie's Millions in 2008. Defeated in heads-up Erik Seidel. Correct spelling is Alexander Kostritsyn. He plays on Poker Stars as well under the alias "joiso".
Yes, Alex is not really that unknown... sure he's must known under his online nickname than his real live name but as mentioned above he won the Aussie Millions main event and what brought his name in the poker world.

Tom Dwan is a genius
He is one of the best players in the world. Very deliberate in everything he does, and he is so good that it doesnt matter much what he has. he can 3 bet bluff, float and check raise bluff on the river. reminds me of stu ungar

Im a big big durrrr fan (unless he plays against Ziggy ), and good to see hes on top of the list and Ziggy is runner up! These are two most courageous players in high stakes imo!
