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.

Sunday: $1 Million Guaranteed at SunPoker
Опубликовал | КомментарииThe chips are piling up at Sun Poker for its $1 million guaranteed tournament on Sunday. With such a large prize pool, Sun is one of the best places to be for tournament action this weekend.
The tournament is the largest that Sun Poker, a popular member of the iPoker network, has to offer. It begins on Sunday, March 14 at 18:00:00 GMT. Though the buy-in is large, there are several qualifying satellites and the potential winnings are huge!
Buying into the game directly costs $500+35 – only a small portion of the million – but players can win a seat for as little 44 cents. On Saturday, Sun has several satellite tournaments with buy-ins from $.44 to $60+6. They even offer most of the same options as last chance events on Sunday before the game starts. For full satellite and main event details, visit Sun Poker’s web site and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Good luck playing for your share of at least $1 million.

Isildur1 Drops $1.8 Million In a Day
Опубликовал | КомментарииThe unknown Swede’s session started by turning around a heads-up $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha session against CardRunners pro Cole South, going from down over $300k after 133 hands to up $557,896 after 952 hands of play.
Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo, who has been playing heads-up Hold’em with Isildur1 almost daily, took $101k from the Swede after just over 300 hands of $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em, but was unable to hold on to it losing back $622,648 a couple hours later.
Bonomo would leave the tables down $521,566 last night.
Tom “durrrr” Dwan, who has been in the process of making a massive comeback since his brutal losses at the end of 2009, would be next on Isildur1’s hit-list, but after 888 hands of $300/$600 PLO Dwan managed to pull off a massive $1,021,995 win, almost entirely negating Isildur1’s profit for the day.
Dwan’s million dollar profit moves him to first place for profit in 2010 with over $3.3 million earned so far at Full Tilt.
Next up, Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond continued the heads-up $200/$400 NLHE session started by Bonomo, making just over $57k after 1,482 hands.
The two then agreed to move the game to $300/$600 PLO where they remained for 2,182 hands, moving up to $500/$1,000 after Isildur1 got stuck for over $254k.
Galfond turned up the heat at $500/$1,000, absolutely crushing Isildur1 for over $1.6 million across the action-filled 2,064 hand session.
In total, the two played 8 pots worth over $300k, the largest of which came in at $415,999.
By the end of the day, Isildur1 had lost $1.9 million exclusively to Galfond, booking a massive $1.8 million dollar loss on the day.
Below are three of yesterday’s largest pots. To see more hands from last night, head to MarketPulse.
Isildur1 Ships $1.5 Million
Опубликовал | КомментарииWith Hastings having won $4.2 million in a single session against Isildur1, and South having the best year of his life so far, the odds seemed slim for Isildur1 to have much of a chance if he returned to the biggest games on Full Tilt.
To the surprise of many, he did come back just a couple months after his crushing defeat, and has begun to steamroll his way back to the top.
For Isildur1, yesterday’s session began with a 1,114 hand $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha match against South, ending with Isildur1 up $240,779.
Hoping to expedite his comeback, South chose to step up the heads-up match to $300/$600 PLO, but only managed to lose another $401,733 over 566 hands.
With South’s hole growing deeper by the second, Hastings logged on to try and get one back for the CardRunners team. After 811 hands of $300/$600 PLO, Hastings himself booked a $250k loss before moving the game to the nosebleed stakes: $500/$1,000.
After 1,356 hands of furious action, Hastings threw in the towel down another $581,954.
Up next for Isildur1 came another re-match against Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo at $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em. Across the two-and-a-half-hour 2,386-hand Hold’em match, Isildur1 took another $101k before Bonomo took his leave.
After losing $31k to NEKOTYAN over just six hands of $200/$400 PLO, Isildur1 went on to make another $154k at the $200/$400 Cap-PLO tables.
His day would end on the downswing, starting with a $30k loss to skjervoy at $100/$200 PLO before he sat across from South once more, this time losing back $354,008 over 133 hands of $500/$1,000.
In total, Isildur1 booked a more than $1.5 million profit, add that to the $572,746 he made Monday and everyone’s favorite mystery Swede is quickly working his way to the top of the 2010 profit leaderboard.
In fact, he is currently sitting in second place behind Alexander “PostflopAction” Kostritsyn on around $2.8 million.
South, thanks to his $354k win at the end of the night, managed to keep his losses to only $309,215, while Hastings took a hit of over $832k.
