Online poker report – Isildur1 loses big again

Nobody knows who Isildur1 is, but everyone is certain of one thing: this guy doesn’t play around. He wins big and loses big too. On Tuesday, the Swede took on the Cardrunners duo of Cole South and Brian Hastings at
Full Tilt Poker’s tables, two of the guys responsible for his demise in December 2009. Revenge sure is sweet and few things had probably ever been sweeter for Idilsur1 than the $830k he lifted off Brian Hastings at the $300/$600 and $500/$1,000 PLO tables. He won about $640k from South too, about half of which he gave back later.
The profit he made on the Cardrunners guys was not all that Isildur1 booked on Tuesday though. He hit NEKOTYAN and Justin Bonomo for six figure hauls too.
With the
online poker gods firmly by his side following his Monday/Tuesday performances, Isildur1 was keen to continue milking his lucky streak for the third consecutive day. Things started out well for him on Wednesday, as he took $521k from Justin Bonomo and hit South again for $558k. As it’s often the case though with winning streaks, things turned south in an instant for the Swede. He must’ve gotten greedy as he decided to get some money off Tom Dwan too, the player who used to be such a reliable ATM for him in the past.
This time, the ATM would rebel though. In just 888 hands of $300/$600 PLO, Isildur1 ended up $1 million under the red line. The biggest pot of the session weighed in at $303,000 and it ended up in Dwan’s pockets, together with another monster for which Dwan’s straight beat Isildur1’s set.
Following the loss, Isildur1 was pretty much back on naught for the day. He decided to lock horns with Phil Galfond though, probably in an effort to squeeze a profit anyway. Things again backfired for him, as he ended up dropping a further $1.6 million to Galfond, at $300/$600 PLO.
No fewer than 8 pots of the Galfond/Isildur1 session were above $300k ones. The largest one was a $416k whooper, which landed on Isildur1’s side of the online poker table.
Most of the other comparably sized pots went to Galfond though. Despite the crippling blow, Isildur1 is still around $200k up for the week.
