The race to become the year’s biggest winner has dominated the online headlines the past few weeks as Ilari “Ilari FIN” Sahamies, Rafi “refaelamit” Amit, and Viktor “Isildur1” Blom jockey for position. It looks like Sahamies, currently $400,000 ahead of Amit, will take down the title. But there is still a week left in the month.
This past week, action was relatively slow, with the biggest winner, the exasperatingly named “1Il|1Il|1il|,” winning a modest $283,059 in 12,288 hands spread across 82 sessions. Not far behind was Ronny “1-ronnyr3” Kaiser, who banked $265,457 in 81 sessions/7,407...
"... the exasperatingly named 1Il|1Il|1il|,” .. PokerNews is being kind here ... to call yourself by symbols shows poor long-term thinking and the only good thing about anonymous tables now is that we will not be subjected to idiotic number & symbol streams from poker players that cannot come up with a pronounceable online name. Must be a fan of music by "the artist that used to be called Prince" who also has some weird symbol as his identity. Just think of the sponsorship opportunities you are passing up in the future if indeed you are heading for the top.

@flintsworld. Name one online poker player who has gotten sponsorship because of their screen name. To think that someones screen name will in any way affect their long term profit is, well, idiotic... How is a name like "durrr" any different?
