How much do high stakes players win?

Poker fans love watching high stakes games, not only because of the game level but also because of the the mind-blowing size of the pots played. Last summer, Wiktor Malinowski delighted his fans by winning massive pots and getting a stack of nearly two million dollars at the $500/$1,000 tables.

Last week, Limitless shared a screenshot of his overall results for August. Although Malinowski deleted the post, the graph was already saved:

According to the PokerCraft data, Malinowski won about four million dollars at the high stakes tables on GG Network.

However, it's known that the PokerCraft chart doesn't consider the rake paid, but according to the estimates of players in the 2+2 forums, it could be about $700k. It's unclear how much rakeback he received, and cannot be calculated it due to the PVI rake.

But even with unknown data that may affect the exact final profit figure, it's still clear that Wiktor had a very successful month at GGPoker.

A new high stakes poker boom

Malinowski's results and the consistent action on high stakes in the past months were mostly made possible thanks to the quarantines and the first-ever WSOP Online, but it was still a big surprise to many, considering that the online poker industry was under a long-term crisis.
