Brian "$tinger" Hastings has been brushing aside all competition on PokerStars during the last few days, thanks to a couple of short but very lucrative PLO sessions.

The American pro, who has also been extremely active on the European live tournament schedule over the past few months, started out by taking home close to $190,000 on Tuesday, continuing his good run yesterday with a new $145,000 win.

The two winning sessions will bring Hastings total profits for the past two days to $330,000, also making him the biggest winner in that period.

Most of Hastings winnings came from the $100/$200 PLO games, where he had run-ins with the like of "patpatman", Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky and "verve.oasis".

Other big winners from the week include "Terken89", who is up $175,970 since Tuesday, "10IsTheYear", up $161,690, and "glosik", who banked close to $90,000.

Seen over the whole of the year, Sulsky continues to rule the rankings with profits of more than $1.7 million, trailed by "EireAbu", who is up $1.6 million, according to Highstakesdb.com.

Also still showing healthy results are Jens "Jeans89" Kyllönen, who is up $1.1 million and Phil "MrSweets28" Galfond, who has won a little more than $1 million since January 1st.

The biggest loser of the year is "Zypherin", who is down $1.8 million, followed by regulars Viktor "Isildur1" Blom and Ilari "Ilari FIN" Sahamies with losses of $1.1 million and $839,000, respectively.
