Saturday, November 21st may have become a key date for Isildur1 as he effectively wiped out his profits since storming the Full Tilt Poker tables after losing $3.3 million over nine hours.
Unfortunately for Isildur1, his greatest contributor Tom Dwan was absent at Full Tilt last night and so took he took on two of his toughest opponents to date, Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius.
Isildur1 opened up six tables of $500/$1,000 PLO and a little while later on one of the tables against Antonius, he had managed to build up his initial $200,000 to more than $675,000. Cue the biggest pot in online history, when an Antonius, with $1,250,000 in front of him, looked down to see Ah3sKsKh while Isuldur1 held 6d7d8h9s.
Having been raised to $3k,Antonius re-raised to $9k only for Isildur1 to 4-bet him to $27,000. Antonius then responded with a 5-bet to $81,000 which Isildur1 called to create an opening pre-flop pot of more than $160,000.
After the flop fell 5c4s2h making his straight, Antonius bet out for $91,000 only for Isildur1 to re-raise the size of the pot and Antonius to move all-in for a record breaking $1,356,946.50 online pot. A 5h and 9c on the turn and river failed to make Isuldur1′s higher straight and the enormous pot went Antonius’ way. By the end of the session Isildur1 had dropped $2.1 million to Antonius.
Meanwhile, Ivey managed to win $1.2 million from the mystery Swede over the same period and it was Isuldur1 who eventually told Ivey he was stopping for the night.
It would seem playing PLO against Ivey and Antonius has proved to be Isuldur1′s least profitable game and with this latest session of 4,500 over 9 hours and $3.3 million down, questions are being asked about the resilience of Isuldur1′s bankroll, which swelled to almost $6 million in the black at his height but now is now less than a million in profit.
