The action on PokerStars' nosebleed tables has slowed down quite a bit since Full Tilt Poker reopened for business. However there were some pretty nice $200/$400 PLO ring games running there on Monday with Ilari Sahamies, Sam Tricket, Barcode and other regulars in the centre of the action. Barcode, whose identity is unknown, ended up as Monday's biggest winner with a $232.6k profit. Most of the profit came from a $282k pot - that could have been a $680k pot. Here is how it was played out...
Ilari FIN bet $1,720 from UTG, patpatman folded, LuckyGump raised to $5,880, and barcode reraised to $19,680. Ilari FIN called, LuckyGump moved all in for $34,675, barcode reraised to $123,785 and Ilari FIN called.
The pot was $282,480 when the flop 4

Ilari Sahamies could have been the biggest winner of Monday...
Ilari's Monday at the poker tables was one hell of a roller-coaster ride. He was up about $500k for some time, but eventually he lost almost everything and finished the day about even. He won 4 pots of $200k+ during the beginning of Monday, and one of these pots ended up being the biggest of the day.
Ilari FIN bet $1,520 from the small blind, patpatman raised to $3,400. Ilari FIN reraised to $10,520 and patpatman called.
