High stakes online poker player takes massive $5m hitShare
Today at 16:33 Yesterday Isildur1 lost a total of 5.3 million dollars, probably creating a new record. Isildur1 is something of an online poker enigma in terms of his identity, but has been the most active high stakes Swedish player at online poker room Full Tilt in recent weeks. In just three days in November he played over 10,000 hands to win $560k+ and in the past six weeks he has played in excess of 130,000 hands, culminating in the spectacular loss of $5.3m yesterday. In a few short weeks Isildur1 has taken the high stakes action to a higher altitude, making even a $653k pot seem like an everyday occurrence. With both Isildur1 and his recent opponent Tom |

Isildur1 Stuck For $2.7m in Just 9 Hours! By Patrick Wallace - December 1st, 2009 Isildur1 is again struggling to keep his head above water as Ziigmund and Brian Townsend slash his bankroll by $2,697,767.70 in just 9 hours of play. Isildur1 must have been feeling pretty good when he got up this morning having annihilated Ziigmund in their PL Omaha session the night before, but his luck turned, resulting in the worst day he has had at Fulltilts tables so far. When Ziigmundsits at the poker table, theres a good chance there will be some 7 figure swings, and he certainly hasnt disappointed the railers this week. He lost $1.7m to Isildur1 in 1060 hands of $500/$1000 PLO on Sunday evening only to rake it back from him today with interest, winning $2.25m in just over 3000 hands. Ziigmund won the biggest pot of their Sunday session when he slow played the K-high straight to perfection. Isildur1s aggression backfired when he shoved all in on the river and he could only show a pair of 3s, winning Ziigmund a $708,987.50 pot. The 2nd largest pot of Sunday evening was won by Isildur1 when 2 great starting hands hit a flop where neither of them could back down. Ziigmund hit a two-pair but Isildur1 trumped it with his trip 6s. It all went in on the flop and Isildur1s trips held up to win him a $559,980 pot. Ziigmund claimed the biggest pot of todays action when he flopped middle pair with the nut-flush draw and a gut shot to Isildur1s two-pair with a gut shot. Again, it all went in on the flop, and although Isildur1 had the best hand when the money went in, he was actually a small underdog to win the hand. Ziigmund hit his flush on the turn and the river brought no significant help for Isildur1 as he lost a $652,972.50 pot. Another crushing defeat for Isildur1 occurred today when the turn yet again favoured Ziigmund giving him top two-pair and a flush draw against Isildur1s pocket aces. It all went in on the turn and the river brought Ziigmund a higher two-pair winning him a $515,978.50 pot. Brian Townsendwas back on form today to take another bite out of Isildur1s bankroll, this time it was a $565,656.50 bite in 618 hands of $300/$600 PL Omaha. Brian won his biggest pot this year when he managed to get $170k of his $215k stack in preflop with As Ah 6h 3c to Isildur1s 9s 8c 6c 5s. Naturally the other $45k went in on the flop which only brought Isildur1 a few straight draw outs, but Brians aces held up to bag him a $430,992 pot. Isildur1 lost an unlucky pot to Brian when he flopped a straight flush draw to Brians top pair with a nut flush draw and gut shot. This action flop had all their money in the middle, the turn improved Brians hand to trips and the river completed both their flushes, but giving Brian the nut flush and sending a $343,797 pot his way. This latest action leaves Isildur1 with a profit of nearly $500k over 141,000 hands for his efforts with the pros on the virtual felt. With such a big sample, its hard to overlook the fact that hes up nearly $2m playing NL Holdem, but down $1.5m playing PL Omaha. One cant help but wonder if the enticement of PL Omahas massive swings and guaranteed action will be sending him to the rail soon. (c) Poker Table Ratings |

From his blog
Tony G writes about how he was in contact with Isildur1 by phone and knows who he is. This time he just tells that he was only speculating who Isildur1 is (Viktor Blom) before, but now he has 100% certainty about his identity and he is not going to reveal him. He thinks its better that Isildur1 maintains his |
