The unidentified high roller ended the night down a further half million dollars following a similar loss on Monday, and his presence appeared to trigger an avalanche of big-pot action involving names like Patrik Antonius, Tom Marchese, Ashton "theASHMAN103" Griffin, Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies and Phil Ivey.

Over $6.1 million was wagered in the top 25 pots alone, according to statistics from MarketPulse.

Antonius was among the most successful in the session, taking one massive $496 023 pot off Marchese, who ended the evening about $100 000 in the red. Player 'Pokerbluffs' also had a good night, leaving the virtual tables up around $488 000.

MarketPulse reports that some of the most exciting action of the night was the $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha heads up clashes between Sahamies and Ivey, which saw huge pots changing hands and resulted in Ivey finishing the session down $150 000, whilst over the entire evening Sahamies profited by some $ 230 000.

Other than Martonas, the night's biggest losses were sustained by Ashton Griffin, who went down $480 000 in NHLE games.
