By RP, August 5, 2014

A major talking point among high stakes poker fans this week has been the outstanding performance of the so-far-unidentified German player using the handle “Trueteller”, who has been ripping up the 2-7 Triple Draw ($1k/$2k and $1.5k/$3k) nosebleed tables on Full Tilt, earning the top spot for the week on $970,000, and bringing his profits this year to almost $2 million.

Fleischer actually finished as the week’s biggest loser, dropping $800,000 and taking his account into around $1.5 million in red ink for the year.

Biggest winners this week, according to the HSDB were:

Trueteller: $970,000
Carlooo13: $398,000
Ben Bttech86 Tollerene: $368,000
