Unfortunately for the high stakes online cash game community, Gus Hansen is no longer around to pick on. Despite his hyper-emotional outbursts, Sahamies has managed to remain in the top games for a period of nearly eight years, which is quite the accomplishment. While many other high profile cash game players have disappeared over the years, Ilari Sahamies has managed to persevere, despite his tendency to tilt badly at the tables. This puts 'Ilari FIN' ahead of 'JayP-AA' (+$743,718) on the online cash game profit list so far this year, and far ahead of names such as 'Crazy Elior' (+$342,822), 'HeadShotFyoV' (+$257,389) and 'gunning4you' (+$244,368). Ilari 'Ilari FIN' Sahamies, also known as 'Ziigmund' on Full Tilt Poker, is currently up $1,006,309 over a total of 26,476 tracked hands on Pokerstars so far this year.

JayP-AA had done well in the $25/$50 PLO games, but yesterday’s losses came at the $50/$100 and $100/$200 PLO tables, possibly outside of the player’s comfort zone, which is an old trick of seasoned gamblers to get their opponents playing for stakes they are uncomfortable playing for. Now, the anonymous player seems to have hit his wall –don’t they all?-after a decimating $382,000 loss mainly at the hands of Cates.
