September has been no different, as "Ziigmund" has made just over $900k from the high stakes PLO games that have been running on the site. Surprisingly though, Sahamies has done very well in the high stakes NLHE and Omaha Hi/Lo games, making an additional $900k+ in those two games.
The rest of the top 10 most profitable players on Full Tilt this month is populated by some very well-known names.
Phil Ivey is currently up over $1.33 million in September. Ivey got off to an absolutely scorching start in September, winning just over a million dollars in a couple of days. Since then, he has cooled off a bit, and has been playing a bit less due to his commitments in London.

Next up on the list is Patrik Antonius, who has made $1.23 million dollars over 13,681 hands in September. All of the profits have come from the high stakes Omaha Hi/Lo games - Antonius has participated in some of the "RailHeaven" games which have been running September, but has not fared too well. In the month of September, Antonius has dropped about $300k in the high stakes NLHE games.
The top five is rounded out by Hac "trex313" Dang (+$982k) and "howisitfeellike" (+$936k). "trex313" is a remarkably consistent player who has made almost three million dollars on Full Tilt in 2008.
