Million Dollar Game - Free to Enter

While the high stakes poker players continued their nosebleed grinding the UK seemingly let out a collective cheer as tone-death twins John and Edward (Jedward) were eliminated from the popular X Factor TV show. The glum looks on Jedward’s faces could possibly be matched by Isildur1’s this morning. The Swedish sensation was beating up the highest stakes games on Full Tilt less than a week ago, putting Tom “Durrrr” Dwan to the sword on several occasions.

Now it seems the variation bitch has bitten for Isildur1. Only a few days ago he was several million dollars in the black. Today that figure is a relatively small $750,000. So what’s been happening?

Isildur took on Patrik Antonius in a little heads up match. $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha was the table of choice and one pot at that table made online poker history.

The pre-flop action was a raise-fest! Isildur raised it up to $3,000. Antonius re-raised to $9,000. Isildur wasn’t going to be pushed around by the Finnish pretty boy and re-raised again to $27,000. Antonius fired again and made it $81,000 to go. Finally Isildur called and a huge pot had already developed.

Isildur1 held:
Antonius went into the flop with:

The flop had something for everybody:

All the money found its way into the middle and a world record online pot of $1.3 million was set for the winner of the hand. The turn and river failed to hit any of the out cards for Isildur1 and the chips moved across to Antonius.

The Finn has now won the two largest online poker pots in history to date. Both of those pots were against Isildur1 who must be wondering what he did wrong to upset the poker Gods so much. On a positive note Isildur is obviously more entertaining than the hapless Jedward. The young Swede can probably sing and dance far better than the twins too
