One of the favorite pastimes of many online poker players is to rail the high stakes games, both to watch their favorite pros throw some chips around and to marvel at the gigantic pots. The website highstakesdb.com monitors these games, publishing daily reports as to who is up and who is down in the nosebleed arena. Recently, the site published its summary of the biggest winners and losers of 2007 at both Full Tilt Poker and the Microgaming Network. Abbreviated versions of the reports are below.
