In last week��s Online Railbird Report we told you about ��Rhje,��, who banked $1,014,573 to finish as the week��s biggest winner. It was another good week for the mystery player as he won $474,483 in 2,918 hands over 21 sessions. The only other player to do better was Ben ��Bttech86�� Tollerene (pictured), who won $544,972 in 990 hands over 12 sessions.

Other winners included ��proudlikeagoat�� ($374,757 in 16 sessions/1,463 hands), ��punting-peddler�� ($344,660 in 12 sessions/2,160 hands), Gus Hansen ($271,951 in 31sessions/3,241 hands), Niklas ��ragen70�� Heinecker (+$242,911 in 47 sessions/7,419 hands), ��HelicopterBen82�� (+$207,564 in 28 sessions/2,451 hands) and Viktor ��Isildur1�� Blom ($184,467 in 28 sessions/2,572 hands).

On the other end of the spectrum, Isaac ��luvtheWNBA�� Haxton was the week��s biggest loser after dropping a massive $964,478 in 1,243 hands over 11 session �C an average loss of $775.92 per hand. He was joined in the loser column by ��O Fortuna PLS�� (-$617,708 in 17 sessions/3,105 hands), ��MalACEsia�� (-$488,990 in 22 sessions/3,578 hands), ��Denoking�� (-$477,384 in 7 sessions/774 hands) and Alex ��IReadYrSoul�� Millar (-$308,487 in 9 sessions/1,018 hands).

��Trueteller�� Banks $630,900 in Thursday Action

On Thursday, Aug. 8, ��Trueteller�� emerged as the day��s biggest winner after banking $630,900 playing no limit hold��em on Full Tilt Poker. He began the day by taking $68,000 from ��samrostan�� in a three-and-a-half hour match at the $500/$1,000 CAP NLHE tables. He followed that up with four tables of $400/$800 NLHE against some of the game's best, and he made $346,000 of his winnings during that session. Much of that came courtesy of winning the day��s biggest pot.

In the hand, action was three-handed when ��Trueteller�� ($280,342) opened for 1,600 and ��punting-peddler�� ($101,647) three-bet to $7,200 from the small blind. After the big folded, ��Trueteller�� called, the flop came down Q?A?3? and ��punting-peddler�� bet $8,800. "Trueteller" called, bringing the 7? on the turn, and ��Trueteller�� called a bet worth $16,800. When the J? completed the board on the river, ��punting-peddler�� moved all in for $68,847 and ��Trueteller�� snap-called. ��Punting-peddler�� tabled the 8?7? for a pair of sevens, but ��Trueteller�� took the $204,243 pot with the A?5? for the nut flush.

It was also in that game that ��proudlikeagoat�� won $337,100 before finishing the day with $415,100 in profit. In his biggest pot, action was six-handed when ��Trueteller�� ($393,815) opened for $2,000 from the cutoff only to have ��Call_911�� ($98,339) three-bet to $7,200 from the button. ��Proudlikeagoat�� ($101,169.50) then four-bet to $164,000 from the small blind, ��Trueteller�� got out of the way and ��Call_911�� shoved all in. ��Proudlikeagoat�� called and the cards were turned up.

��proudlikeagoat��: Q?Q?
��Call_911��: 7?7?

��Call_911�� held a decent pocket pair, but ��proudlikeagoat�� had him crushed with the ladies. The two agreed to run it twice, but neither the J?Q?8?10?10? on the first run nor the 9?2?8?2?4? on the second helped ��Call_911�� and he watched the entire $199,925 pot pushed to ��proudlikeagoat.��

��Trueteller�� Wins $203,000 in 132 Hands

��Trueteller�� kept the ball rolling on Friday, Aug. 9 by winning $203,000 in just 132 hands of $400/$800 NLHE. That was enough to make him the biggest winner for the second day in a row. Not surprisingly, he took down the biggest pot of the day.

In the hand, ��Trueteller�� ($167,164.60) opened for $2,400 under the gun and Tollerene ($134,081.89) three-bet to $8,000 from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and then ��Trueteller�� called before check-calling a bet of $10,400 on the 2?9?4? flop. ��Trueteller�� check-called another bet, this time $28,400, on the 7? turn and then checked for a third time on the 7? river. Tollerene shoved for $87,281.89 and ��Trueteller�� called. Tollerene showed the Q?10? for a bluff, but ��Trueteller�� sniffed it out and called with the A?K?, sending him a pot worth $269,961.

Another winner on Friday was ��MalACEsia,�� who won $154,100 in the game. In his biggest pot, which was also the second biggest of the day, ��HelicopterBen82�� ($146,975.65) opened for $2,000 on the button and ��MalACEsia�� ($111,576) called from the big blind, bringing about a 9?5?7? flop. ��MalACEsia�� checked, ��HelicopterBen82�� bet $3,600 and ��MalACEsia�� check-raised to $10,800. ��HelicopterBen82�� proceeded to three-bet to $24,800 and then called when ��MalACEsia�� moved all in for $109,576.

��HelicopterBen82�� flipped over the 9?7? for two pair, but it was no good as ��MalACEsia�� had flopped the nuts with the 6?8?. The A? turn failed to pair the board for ��HelicopterBen82�� and so did the 10?. With that, he watched the $224,149 pot pushed to his opponent.

Somebody ��Call_911�� Because He��s Burning Up the Dance Floor

On Sunday, Aug. 11, ��Call_911�� finished as the day��s biggest winner after profiting $382,000, most of which came in 101 hands of $400/$800 NLHE against the likes of Haxton and ��MalACEsia.�� There were only two pots over $200,000 on Sunday, and it��s no surprise ��Call_911�� won them both. Have a look:

Hand #1: In a six-handed game, ��Call_911�� ($327,629.56) opened for $2,400 from the hijack and Haxton ($124,097) defended from the big blind. The 3?A?9? flop saw Haxton check-call a bet of $4,270 before checking the 6? turn. ��Call_911�� took the opportunity to bet $10,248 only to have Haxton wake up with a check-raise to $31,600. ��Call_911�� not only called that raise, he also called Haxton��s shove of $85,827 on the 8? river. Haxton revealed the 6?6? for a turned set, but it was no good as ��Call_911�� tabled the 5?7? to claim the $249,191 pot.

Hand #2:

Tollerene��s Back

Ben ��Bttech86�� Tollerene hasn��t been making much noise in the online realm as of late, but that changed on Monday, Aug. 12 when he topped the daily leader board with a $322,100 win at the $400/$800 NLHE table. It came from a 320-hand heads-up match against ��Denoking�� in the early morning hours and included winning some hefty pots.

In one notable hand, ��Denoking�� ($165,959.60) opened for $2,000 and then shoved when Tollerene ($74,033.39) raised to $6,400. Tollerene called with the A?Q?, which was well out in front of ��Denoking��s�� A?J?. The 3?10?3?Q?7? board gave Tollerene the win, but ��Denoking�� had a shot at half the pot as the two agreed to run it twice. Unfortunately for him, the 4?K?2?6?K? on the second run came up empty and he watched the entire $148,066 pot shipped to Tollerene.

��Rhje�� Tuesday��s Biggest Win with $272,100
