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.
1. Tom "durrrr" Dwan
Dwan was running quite good last year until he ran into Isildur1. 2010 has started in the best possible way for the american poker pro as he has won $3,970,484 in just about 130k hands.
2. Illari "Ziigmund" Sahamies
The Finnish PLO expert Ziigmund has been running extremely good this year. He was up $3.2 million not long ago, but then had a cold session against Dwan and is now up $2,059.061 after 41k hands.

In the month of September, Thuy Doan went public with a very sad message in her blog - she had been diagnosis with cancer. Since Thuy Doan was diagnosed with cancer, she has been a break from the poker scene, but still she has continued writing in her blog about her fight against the cancer.
Now, a few months later, 16 of the world's best poker players (Doyle Brunson, Eli Elezra, Barry Greenstein, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Bertrand "ElkY", and Grospellier - just to mention a few) shaved their heads in soldiery for her. This really shows that even after all the success these players have had, they still have huge hearts and care for other people.

It seems like Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Patrik Antonius find it hard to find some time to play the durrrr challenge lately. And when they play, it's usually only one to two hour sessions. This time was different. In this session they played multiple sessions with shorter breaks over an eight hour period.
Tom Dwan has been playing very well in the durrr challenge lately, and it seems like the poker gods are on his side when he needs to get lucky. In this session Tom Dwan stayed in the lead against Antonius all the time and also took down the most bigger pots (around $200-$300k). An example of when Tom Dwan got lucky in this session is when he and Antonius went all-in pre flop. Antonius had a much better hand and flopped trips. At this point, Tom Dwan only could win with a runner, runner straight. Tom Dwan prayed to the poker gods, and the poker gods answered his prayers by giving him the straight and the pot of $190,000.
Tom Dwan has now increased his lead with another $82k. This means that after 27,185 hands of the durrrr challenge, Tom Dwan has a lead of $779,248. Of course it's still a long way to go of the durrrr challenge. Anything can still happen, and that is probably why it's still so interesting to follow the durrr challenge?

Gus Hansen had a rough start of 2009, loosing lots and lots of millions. Now however it seems like he's getting back on track as he has been playing much better lately and also thanks to a friendly board that has been running his way. Last weekend he won around $2,000,000, in just 2 days. This big win makes up for a lot of the money he lost in the beginning of the year.

Some players have had a great start this year, some not so good start. But then there are also players like Gus Hansen that have lost a lot of money in just a few weeks, but still is up over $1.5 million dollars. Another notable player is Tom "Durrrr" Dwan that had a great 2008 and a not so good 2009 with a small minus of $500,000. But if he loses his own challenge against Patrik Antonius it will cost him another $1.5 million. Read more » Biggest winners and losers this year
