Latest news from Full Tilt Poker (FTP) show fantastic changes you’ve never seen before. As fighting slowly moves to its final stage, stakes become incredibly high and game turns to a harsh battle. All major poker stars are there and they all eager to win, but it's still a secret who will be that lucky guy.

For sure this week’s top player is Gus Hansen. He managed to cash in really big at Fixed Limit (FL) Omaha Hi-Lo and finished his session against famous “SteveSung” with a $500,000 profit.

Now let’s move to Pot-Limit Omaha tables where “Ziigmund” rules the show. He managed to finish the game with a profit of $330,000 and showed best result in Pot-Limit Omaha tables for last several days. Fortune was on a “Ziigmund's” side that night allowing him to win a tremendous game with a $147,000 pot against Rob Hollink. At the table were "Ziigmund" ($247,000), Rob Hollink ($73,000), "durrrr" ($43,000) and "OnTheRize" ($35,000). "durrrr" was the first to fold and after that “Ziigmund” increased pre-flop up to $1,400.

“OnTheRise” decided to follow “durrrr”, Rob Hollink stayed in the game and even raised his bid to $4,400, but that was just the beginning. “Ziigmund” called and raised to $22,800 and then Hollink decided to call too. Both checked and "Ziigmund" made Hollink to chip his remaining $46,000 and make all-in. "Ziigmund" showed his hand, it was flush on the river. What combination Hollink had remained a secret as he preferred not to transmit it.

After this “Ziigmund” continued his victorious session targeting “OnTheRize”. "Ziigmund" has done this quickly making "OnTheRize" go all-in. However, nothing could stop "Ziigmund” that night and even fantastic hand possessed by “OnTheRize” was just not enough. As a result “Ziigmund” won $158,882 pot.

This win strengthened his positions and drastically decreased whole year’s negative balance of this online pro. Definitely, July was his best month as it brought him a profit of $475,000.
