Year's Big Winner Leads the Way, With Familiar Faces Close Behind
This week was a pretty big week for high stakes heads up sit and go players. 7 players won over $10,000 and only two players were down money for the week, the worst being ~$5,000.
Dan "mrgr33n13" Colman Tops The List: $77,243 in Profit
Bouncing back from last week's heavy losses to Ike, Dan crushed it this week. He also added $21,644 on Full Tilt, under his alias riyyc225. On top of that, he was interviewed by HUSNG.com, and also started a challenge thread on the 2p2 forums. His words are pretty interesting and include how he met and was staked by livb at a young age, what motivates him and many other interesting anecdotes.
Rachid "SkaiWalkurrr" Ben Cherif Comes in Second Place with $63,423 Profit
Skai had a great week at the tables. We asked him which player he would take (besides himself) as the best chance of catching mrgr33n13 on the profit leaderboards this year. "Noone, but if I had to take one it would be killuifuplay," said Skai. His week's graph is below:
3rd Through 7th Place Winners
Olivier "Adonis112" Busquet took third with $46,808 in profit this week. Anthonyff had $33,457 in profit for the week and ChuckNorrisQ finished with $22,251. Mad_domonox put together a solid week with $12,347 and Alex "Lotte Lenya" Timman rounds out the five figure winners list with $11,380.
We asked Alex what he thought the chances were of SkaiWalkurrr catching mrgr33n13 on the 2013 profit list were. He said, "I think mrgr33n will win, he has the most peculiar hunger. He also hasn't played online in awhile, so I think he'll last."

Only two players lost money this week, including Ankush "Pistons87" Mandavia, who ended up winning over $30,000 in all SNG action this week, but in heads up lost $2,152. Russia's heads up superstar WhatIsICM finished down $5,858 on the week. We're confident that he'll rebound from his down week.
