Isildur1 Drops Out of Big Game
Опубликовал | Комментарии“I am afraid I am going to have to break the news that Isildur1 will not be coming to the PartyPoker.com Big Game IV at Les Ambassadeurs in London this weekend,” said Team PartyPoker’s Tony G.
“Eddie Hearn, the event organizer and Managing Director of Matchroom Sport, personally spoke to Isildur1 and his manager and confirmed this to be the case.
“To say I am disappointed is an understatement.”
According to G, the two had personally agreed on a 50/50 staking deal before managers and agents got involved.
“It has left a bad taste in my mouth,” he said. “What you have to understand is that he reached out to me first and asked and then agreed to play. As far as I am concerned I am washing my hands with him and moving on. On your bike!”
G claims he was going to fly Isildur1 and three of his friends to London for the April 11-13 cash game promising to raise the stakes in the game to accommodate the Swede.
However, Isildur1 now has some “personal issues” to attend too, including a driving test.
G now claims Isildur1 will be at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Grand Final in Monte Carlo later this month.

Isildur1 Dumps $1.6 Million to Hastings
Опубликовал | КомментарииYesterday afternoon, Isildur1 found himself in the middle of a heads-up $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha battle with Sahamies and Hasting.
The match started with Isildur1 making just under $200k from Sahamies in 499 hands. Sahamies then left, giving his empty seat to Hastings, Isildur1’s top rival.
Isildur1 was down $350k after 1,500 hands against Hastings to start out. But over the next 1,210 hands, Hastings crushed the Swede for a total profit of $1.6 million.
After Hastings logged off, Isildur1 hooked up with Sahamies once more, this time at $200/$400 PLO. Isildur1 made just under $65k before agreeing to up the stakes to $300/$600.
Sahamies managed to make $349,925 at the higher stakes, leaving him up $60k on the day. He finished his day by taking over $237k from Tom “durrrr” Dwan at $500/$1,000 PLO, walking away up $295,617.
Unable to follow up his weekend rush with another win, Dwan finished yesterday down nearly $300k. But despite the loss, he still sits as the top online profit earner in 2010.
Finally, having lost over $1.7 million already, Isildur1 dropped down in stakes to play Cole South heads-up at $25/$50 PLO where he lost another $30k before calling it quits.
In total, Isildur1 lost a whopping $1,790,744.
Below are the three largest pots between Isildur1 and Hastings. To see more hands, head to MarketPulse.

DELAWARE TO ADD POKER IN STATE CASINOS
Poker’s expansion in East Coast casinos is expected to continue this summer when Delaware’s three casinos add table games, including an option for poker, to their gambling offerings. The change comes after a bill legalizing table games was passed in late January and quickly signed into law by Delaware Governor Jack Markell. Delaware will join neighboring state Pennsylvania in offering poker and other table games, which is expected to put even more stress on the economically beleaguered stalwart of East Coast gambling, New Jersey’s Atlantic City. Another mid-Atlantic state, Maryland, is considering a similar expansion.
