Ben Sulsky - Big Loser

While Sulsky had a banner year in 2012 with approximately $4 million in winnings, the following year was far from a success. In 2013, in the course of two months, Sulsky lost almost all of this with a net loss of around $3 million. During these months, Sulsky played against some of the top players to the day including Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius. 

Ilari Sahamies - Big Loser

Known for his aggressive play, Sahamies, has experienced one of the largest poker downturns in history. At one point in 2010, his winnings had accrued to almost $7 million. By the end of the year, he has lost about $6 million. Some critics pointed to his frequent inebriated state as a possible cause for his decline.
