According to HighStakesDB, Alexonmoon and Kagome Kagome played three sessions on Monday, with the former coming out on top in each one: “The pair battled for over six hours yesterday, with Alexonmoon winning big at each of the three sessions they played. He won $250,000 from an hour-and-a-half morning session, $124,000 from an hour-long lunchtime session, and another $100,000 from a 3hr 45 min afternoon/evening match.”

By the time the day ended, Kagome Kagome had shipped almost $500,000 to Alexonmoon.

In the final session, according to the same site, the pendulum swung back and forth for the first two hours before Alexonmoon caught fire in the final 90 minutes. As it turns out, the win could not have come at a more opportune time for Alexonmoon: “Until [Monday], he was down over $600,000 for the week, so a big win was just what the doctor ordered for Alexonmoon.”

In the last seven days, Alexonmoon is still down about $200,000 on the high-stakes tables, according to HighStakesDB. The vast majority of his losses have come in Draw Games, while he has also bled about $5,000 at the Eight-Game tables.

Alexonmoon is no stranger to the high-stakes tables. His largest tracked pot came in August at a $300/$600 PLO table stacked with the likes of Isildur1, Gus Hansen (pictured), and PostflopAction. In that hand, most of the drama occurred pre-flop to build a pot of over $300,000.

After a flop of 8-3-5 with two clubs, the remaining money went in and the pair agreed to run the turn and river twice. 10h-Qc came on the first run, while 9-5 of hearts came on the second go-around. Hansen showed Ks-9d-10s-7d, while Alexonmoon flashed the nut flush to scoop both pots, officially banking $336,000.

Alexonmoon is originally from France, but left the country due to the market’s ring-fenced limitations, according to HighStakesDB. He lives in London now and, as the same site outlined, “Alex started his poker career with a $5 deposit in 2007 and has never had to look back since. He quickly turned that into $15,000 through NLHE cash games within a few months and, by the end of 2008, he was playing $25/$50 NLHE. He started playing PLO in August 2009 and Mixed/Limit games in December 2009.”
