Last year, the online money winner everyone was talking about was ‘BERRI SWEET,’ who racked up over $1.7 million at the virtual tables. This year, however, the anonymous player has been pushed to the back seat and a new name got off to a good start in January.
Gavin ‘gavz101’ Cochrane amassed over $348,000 in online action in less than a month.
Cochrane now joins the ranks of heavy hitters such as SWEET, Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom, and Ben ‘Sauce123’ Sulsky. The British player spends the majority of his time and favors Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), although he will sometimes participate in 8-Game mixers. Gavz101 played a total of 18,713 hands across 241 sessions, and earned almost twice that of any of his opponents.
One particular game saw him up against BERRI SWEET, playing for his single biggest pot of the month. He was in a four-handed $200/$400 PLO game, and the showdown started with Cochrane leading off with a $1,400 bet from the button against last year’s online money champ. BERRI SWEET raised to $4,600 from the small blind and Cochrane responded after Sulsky got out of the way.
