Isildur1 Drops $2.9 Million, Now Down Overall
The wild ride for Swedish online poker pro Isildur1 continued in recent days, as the newcomer dropped a colossal $2.9 million on the felts of Full Tilt Poker. According to Poker Table Ratings, Isildur1 is now a losing player overall.
After being up as much as $5 million, the tide has begun to turn for Isildur1, who now sits at -$892,000 since Poker Table Ratings began tracking the Swede in September. Recently, Power Poker front man Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies took Isildur1 for $2.3 million in 3,000 hands of $500/$1,000 Pot Limit Omaha.
In one hand, the Swede raised to $3,000 pre-flop with 3h-6d-2s-Ac and Sahamies made it $9,000 with Qs-Js-9d-Jh. Isildur1 made the call and the flop came 10c-Qh-3c, giving Sahamies top pair and a straight draw and giving Isildur1 a pair of threes. Sahamies bet pot, $18,000, and Isildur1 popped it to $56,000. Sahamies made the call to see the turn come the Ks. Sahamies, now holding a king-high straight, checked and Isildur1 bet out $96,000. Sahamies continued to play it slow and just called to bring the 4h on the river. Sahamies checked once again, Isildur1 bet $322,000, and Sahamies called all-in for his last $193,000, creating a $708,000 pot. Sahamies scooped it with a straight and Isildur1 was left scratching his head. (full story)
