Halozination Has a Career Day, Wins $160k

The week of July 11th began with a bang, as railbirds were treated to some high-flying action at the PokerStars tables. With games running as high as $100/200, there were bound to be some monstrous swings. High-stakes regular and hold-em specialist Halozination was apparently ready to capitalize.

Halozination began the session in the waning hours of July 10th (EST) by pummeling Breckster79, taking over $35,000 from the high-stakes newbie in a one-sided 82-hand battle. Amazingly enough, Halo was up $31,125 after just five hands in the $50/100 NLHE affair. The match was extremely short-lived and ended with Breckster79 enduring the biggest loss of his PokerStars career.

Although Breckster was done after his crushing defeat, Halozination kept the gambling going by taking his talents to the $100/200 NLHE tables. His decision turned out to be a great one. After battling some stiff competition from Zypherin and altiFC, Halo's 679-hand effort was handsomely rewarded, netting him $120,505 in only a little over three and a half hours at $100/200.

Here are some of the key hands from his best session to date at PokerStars:

Halozination flops trips and baits his opponent for the day's biggest pot.

Springing another trap on the flop ends in a felting of Halo’s opponent.

Pocket kings still get some impressive value after an ace hits the flop.

altiFC makes a big mistake pre-flop but still has a chance on the river…

A fortunate river pads Halozination’s bankroll by another 19k.

After all was said and done, Halozination ended up banking $159,821 in only 823 hands, resulting in an average win-rate of 125 BB/100 hands during his epic session. His 82 hands at $50/100, resulting in $35,849 profit, equate to an astounding 437 BB/100. After that kind of result, it seems like Halo might be on the lookout for Breckster79 if he/she wanders into these shark-infested waters again. Halozination has now vaulted past the half-million dollar profit mark, reaching over $550,000 with the gains from his career-best session that also put him on top of PTR's Biggest Pots of the Day and Top Winners of the Day.

Will he bank some of the profit, or start tangling with the big boys? Hopefully this will spur some $100/200 6-max action in the days ahead. Stay tuned for more exciting action from the high-stakes PokerStars rail.
