Railbird Report: PLO Crusher "cumicon" Revealed, Biggest Pots Online

7 min read

This week, we featured "cumicon's" poker graph, and highlighted some of his accomplishments. A day later, Joe Ingram hosted a Poker Life Podcast with the star, revealing his real name. "cumicon" turned out to be an American pro relocated to Canada. The one hour and 40 minute-long podcast is well worth a listen. Cumicon, though, seems pretty fed up with poker and hasn't enjoyed playing it really. The timestamps by David Huber (pinned in the comments) can help you skip to the most interesting bits.

Earnings
PocketFives has him winning $174,098 ($153,413 on PokerStars, $20,685 on Full Tilt Poker) with his biggest score ($128,006) coming from a third place (after chopping) in the Sunday Warm Up back in 2010.

But, as the podcast with Ingram should show you, "Cumicon" wasn't a tournament player. He locked himself inside for five years to play cash games, preferably heads up pot-limit Omaha. As can be seen in the graph he posted, he's up an astonishing $7 million across the board.

And while "Cumicon" mentioned his mother was lurking HighStakesDB to see how her son was doing, the graphs on the tracking site show a bit different numbers. Keeping track since 2012, they have him up $104,958 on Full Tilt Poker and +$1,050,576 on PokerStars, with a big spike at the end of 2015. Keep in mind, HighStakesDB doesn't track all heads up tables and not all websites.

Cumicon's Biggest Pots
All 3 of the biggest pot of "Cumicon"' career, according to HSDB, came from a heads-up match between him and Viktor "Isildur1" Blom back in October of 2015. In the $200/$400 game, "Cumicon" would eventually sit on a stack of $325,982 (815 big blinds).

This Week's Online High-Stakes Biggest Winners and Losers

It was a big week for Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky at the high stakes heads-up 8-Game and 2-7 triple draw tables, where he walked away $283,546 richer after 2,567 hands, for more than $110 per hand in profit. Even more impressive was the fact that Sulsky needed just less than three hours in total to win it all. "BERRI SWEET", who duked it out with Kuznetsov as shown above, also had a massive week and banked $255,320 in profit.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest loser of the week was "Ra��lGonzalez", who lost the money in the heads-up sessions against Sulsky. Last week, "Ra��lGonzalez" dropped $295,290 in total, which wiped away almost all of his high stakes profit in 2017. Carlo "Ravenswood13" van Ravenswoud parted with nearly a quarter million dollars to become the second biggest loser of the week. The Dutchman, residing in Malta, still has an amazing 2017 going for him and is up $814,543 for the year.
