Online poker action - Dwan and Torbergsen rule the tables

This past week, online poker action at
Full Tilt Poker has flared up quite a bit. It was all reminiscent of the time when Swedish mystery player Isildur1 played, generating million-dollar pots and multimillion dollar swings all the time. This time it was Tom Dwan who ruled the tables, as well as Andreas Torbergsen. Torbergsen has generated an upswing about $1.8 million, most of which came from Cadillac1944, within a 24-hour span.
The two players locked horns at the PLO tables, at the $500/$1000 stakes, for a 536-hand session, at the end of which, Torbergsen walked away a $600k winner. He won two pots which were over $400k big.
The following day, the two met again, Cadillac1944 looking to make up for his losses, but he instead ended up dropping another $414k.
He was not the only person hit by the “Torbergsen disease” though. Ilari Sahamies was also a victim: he ended up contributing a couple hundred thousand to “skjervoy’s” bankroll himself.
The other player who ran extremely well during the same time-frame was Tom Dwan. As a matter of fact, it was the New Jersey Wonderkid who set the record for the largest single-day haul. He won no less than $1.51 million, over 2,362 hands, most of which came from Ilari Sahamies who was caught by Dwan in an extremely precarious shape on the $500/$1000 PLO tables.
Needless to say that most of the monster-pots ended up on Dwan’s side of the table. The largest pot of the session weighed in at $416k and obviously, Dwan won that one too.
In other
online poker news: Isildur1 re-surfaced at the high stakes tables, logging a 2,100 hand session against Daniel Cates at the $100/$200 NL Holdem tables. The end of the session saw the mystery Swede around $100k in the red.
