It's high time to take a look at last week's high stakes games online. Yes, even though the 42nd annual World Series of Poker is running at the moment - there are still some action at Full Tilt and PokerStars nosebleed tables.

It ended up being Daniel Idema, from Canada, who took home one of 2011's most prestigious tournaments: the $10,00 Limit Hold'em Championship. On the final table, Idema had to defeat players like Nick Schulman, who has numerous titles to his credit including a WSOP in 2009 $10k NL Deuce-to-Seven Draw event; PokerStars Pro and three-time bracelet winner Barry Greenstein; runner-up in the 2009 WSOP $40k NLHE tournament, Isaac Haxton; online sensation Justin "Boosted J" Smith. On top of that he was the only non-american on the final table.

Yesterday, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom took another opponent in his own challenge. This time it was the American poker pro Rui "PepperoniF" Cao's turn to try his luck against the Swedish NLH expert. Blom got the best possible start of the match and took down a $20,000 pot after just a few hands, then a $40,000 pot half an hour later. Then he continued to win pot after pot. Blom was playing extremely well, but there was no doubt whatsoever that he was lucky as well.

A few days ago, the French-Chinese high stakes player Rui "PepperoniF" Cao wrote some interesting things in his blog about the extreme high stakes games in Macau. Cao writes, for example, about private games where the pots are as much as €500,000 and that it's normal that people win/lose more than double that amount in just a day. He also writes who takes part in these games.

The 3 other players who have accomplished the triple crown are Roland de Wolfe, Gavin Griffin and Jake Cody, who also completed the triple crown at the 2011 WSOP.

After the game between Patrik Antonius and Brandon Adams had finished (6-0, 6-1), David "differ" Peat went up to Adams and asked him to give a line on - how many balls Tom Dwan could return on Antinous serves (out of 20). Brandon thought something like 7 over/under was a good line. Everyone started laughing and "differ" said "Have you ever seen Tom playing tennis?!".

Differ added "It's like 4, and I would like to take the under 7 if so." Brandon got up from the bench, grabbed a racket and started serving. Tom Dwan only managed to return 3 out of 20 serves from Brandon Adams.

Patrik Antonius and Brandon Adams got to play their long-awaited tennis match at the Las Vegas International Tennis Center 3 days ago. Antonius was the big favorite to win the match (best of three set) and laid $295,000 to $30,000 on the encounter. In other words, if Adams would win he would take home more than the semi finalists at the next month's All England Championship.

After 3 long days of play, the $1,5k H.O.R.S.E.* event's 963-player field had been narrowed down to only 1 player, Aaron Steury.

On the final table, he had to defeat 8 very skilled H.O.R.S.E. players before he was the last man standing and was rewarded with his first WSOP gold bracelet and first prize of $289,283.

After 3 days of play at Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm, the Swedish Championship Main Event finally got a winner, Louis Nyberg. Nyberg entered heads-up with a 2-1 chip lead and it didn't take long before he defeated his last opponent, Felix Wictorian, and laid hands on the first place prize of 716,000 sek (about €79,555).

Louis Nyberg finished second in the Pot Limit Omaha event at the Swedish Championship last year, so the Main Event win must have felt extra good for him. A big congratulations to the new champion!

There are some huge cash games running in the Rio Hotel and Casino and Bobby's Room at the moment.

On the right side you can see a picture of Tom Dwan and Howard Lederer that Randy Dorfman, an American poker pro and regular at Rio's highest cash games, posted today. 

"Lol'd this so epic Full Tilt Poker. Want this as a t-shirt to wear at WSOP!" writes Dorfman on his twitter.
