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

November 30, 2017

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).

Blom opened the button for $1,360. "Cumicon" three-bet to $4,240 and Blom called.

"Cumicon" would take a more passive line post flop, check-calling all 3 streets. He first checked on 5♣Q♦6♠, and called Blom's pot bet for $8,638.

The 9♠ on the turn saw "Cumicon" check again, and call the pot bet that followed for $25,914 as well.

With the 6♥ on the river pairing the board, "cumicon" went for the third check. Blom bet pot once more, this time for $77,742. "Cumicon" called with 5♦4♠8♦6♣ for a full house, sixes over fives, and easily beat Blom's 4♦7♣A♦2♠.

"Cumicon" opened for $1,360 and Blom three-bet to $4,240. "Cumicon" called in position and saw a flop in an $8,800 pot.

The flop came K♠8♣6♠ and Blom bet $8,638. "Cumicon" called.

Blom bet $25,914 into $26,076 on the Q♥ turn. "Cumicon" shoved and Blom called all in for $98,278.

Blom held the nuts with K♣9♥7♦K♦ but was vulnerable against "Cumicon"' straight and flush draws with the 2♠7♠9♦10♦. The J♠ on the river completed both "Cumicon"' flush and straight and the pot went his way.

Blom opened the button for $1,360 and "Cumicon" three-bet to $4,240. Blom four-bet to $12,880 and "Cumicon" called to build the pot already up to $26,080.

The pot remained at $26,080 as both players checked the flop of 5♥7♥A♣.

On the K♠ turn, Blom was done checking. After "Cumicon" checked, Blom bet $25,918 and "Cumicon" called.

The K♣ on the river paired the board and "Cumicon" checked again. Blom shoved all in for $65,438 into $77,916. "Cumicon" called with 9♠7♦10♣A♦ for two pair. Blom showed J♦Q♠8♠2♦ for queen-high and had to reload while "Cumicon" sat on a stack of $325,982.

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 "RaúlGonzalez", who lost the money in the heads-up sessions against Sulsky. Last week, "RaúlGonzalez" 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.

The 2017 Leaderboard

Due to his big week, "BERRI SWEET" has taken over Timofey "Trueteller" Kuznetsov's top spot at the 2017 leaderboard. Adding another quarter million dollars to his massive 2017, "BERRI SWEET" has moved up to $1,828,225 for the year and now sits in first. Kuznetsov remains in second place with $1,750,897, while Viktor "Isildur1" Blom remains in third place and is up $1,184,215.

Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro played 1,004 hands this week and lost $115,139, which put his 2017 at -$1,364,274. "8superpoker" clocked 1,214 hands the past week and dropped $26,990. With the loss, "8superpoker" now sits at -$702,923 for the year. Dani "supernova9" Stern retired earlier this year and didn't play any hands.
