blonde poker forum

I guess you guys that frequent 2+2 will know this, but its hard to comprehend the amount of money this guy has won in the last couple of weeks. He's already 4th on the all time money list on FTP. If it was me I'd be happy to walk away from poker and never play another hand ever.

http://www.highstakesdb.com/forum/results.aspx?From=2009-11-01&To=2009-11-15&Site=Select%20site&GameType=0&top=10

Loaded up all their hu tables and was watching all 6 for long periods of time, isil is verrrry good, he also coolered the feck outta dwan over and over. Dwan is an animal for continuing to play on through the swings, he was also loading up 7game tables and hu plo tables vs zigmund on the side. Interesting to see his account balance running so low so often though.

me moody n cos have been talking about this the last few days, he is +6.5million this month, having won about 3.5million of it from durrrr after they played 3 days of 10+ hours a day 6 tabling 500/1k NL. Durrrr has supposidly gone from being one of the top winners to no longer being in the top 50 top winners on highstakesdb in about 7 days.

Antonius refuses to play him at NLHE even when Isildur1 tries to make a deal to play a session of PLO first for a session of NLHE, PA refused this also and ended up losing about 500k to him at PLO last nite when Isildur1 couldn't resist playing anyway.

He took a few buy ins from Ivey who insta quit a game on him after c/r K high and then calling a jam hoping to hit a 4 flush on the turn.

2+2 are going crazy over him as expected, some people think he is blom90 from ipoker and fullflush name dropping fame, rumours are he went from a few thousand to 2 million back down to  2 hundred thousand in the space of 4 weeks or so.

'If it was me I'd be happy to walk away from poker and never play another hand ever.'

So Phil Ivey should have stopped playing years ago by your reckoning? If this guy is crushing the best in the world then surely he'll wanna just keep crushing.

Btw I'm pretty sure this is Barry Neville's first full tilt account. He tried to use the account 'Iselldurrrr1edhardytshirt' but obv it was too long and when he tried to shorten it he clicked 'ok' by mistake.

he must be well good at clicking ze buttons. all in da timing obv.

sicko

LOL I'd never play another hand for a lot less, real life> Poker. Plus we both know people that have won enough to get their life sorted only to do it all back, fk that IMO......

$6m in this market is a lot of money imo

If he is young i would say set yourself up for life and then play donkaments.

Every time someone comes from nothing, and makes lots, 'normal' people can't understand why they don't lock up and go and do something more 'interesting'.

Problem is that the kind of person that can achieve this, isn't necessarily the kind of person who can walk away easily.

(Can't believe I have inferred that Woodsey may be normal!!).

FYMFP

I don't think I'll ever get bored of poker. Maybe I was just born with this illness though.

this

he clearly has game so would end up binking a big score at some point to cover losses.

If I went on a sick heater like his (i think it is accepted he has sucked out alot) - id gladly stop with $6m. wouldnt even hesitate. You can do alot with that kinda cash

^^Yeah man, this is the dream!

Really?

Even i wouldn't get bored of just travelling around playing the biggest tournaments for fun whilst i was making a living off my money sat at home.

Anyone who would walk away with $6mill wouldn't sit down in these games in the first place.

well i aint going to stand at the game

just got back from a night out, PLO HU battle between isildur and PA ensuing they're playing 2 tables.

Table 1

Isil: 250k
PA: 600k

Table 2
Isil: 187k
PA: 1.3m

PA is also sat on 2 tables by himself with around 500k on each, dunno if it's from Isil but I'm guessing it is.

Off 2 bed nn.

What level does Galfond play up to?

isildur1 lost the biggest online pot ever. $879k to PA

http://www.highstakesdb.com/1161-the-biggest-pot-in-online-poker-history-worth-879k.aspx

^^^ Haven't had chance to read the 2+2 thread properly, but it looks at first glance as if he has lost 2.5 mill back to PA :(

stop now FTW

id sooner be a wealthy kid than a flash in the pan

Yeah, but you aren't going to walk away from it either.

lol

Antonious took about 2 mill off Isi last night at HU PLO

According to High Stakes Database Patrik won $3,396,978 online yesterday.

Meanwhile Isildur lost $3,224,745.

Pat also won the biggest pot in online poker....http://www.highstakesdb.com/view-hand-history.aspx?GameID=367999


Also, DjAdi was the second biggest winner on FTP yesterday (306k) and apparently his location is London. Anyone know this guy?

why you needing a tap?

God knows WTF i would be doing if I lost $3M plus in a day!

Working in the Futures department at RBS? ;)

i would seriously be trying to get close to a cliff so i could throw myself off

lolz. Curious as to who it could be obv!

dont be stupid he said 3m not 3billion

maybe if i wasnt up 4million after that loss...

lucky you i would be 5 million down after the 3 million lose

Why didn't Durr just give PA the money direct and cut out the middleman ?

DJ adi is a sick hit and runner. no shame it's disgusting.

stacks durrr with horrible coolers/beats then sits out and comes back on another table without the deep stack. Did this multiple times. He needs to die or not get action.

There was a post on 2+2 with his hsdb for the other day and each 'session' was a small win and 7 to 11 hands, so sick.

yah the guy will sit with like 100 and then when its at 120 he'll sit out and come back to a new table

Online poker player breaches etiquette?

Someone plz link me to the BBC news article on this.

http://betting.betfair.com/poker/poker-strategy/pot-limit-omaha/plo-cash-games/biggest-online-pot-ever-171109.html

From above link...

The Swede was actually a 53.74% favourite over Antonius with him being able to spike a non-heart king or Jack to sccop the pot whilst Antonius had outs to a flush draw and also a gut-shot straight draw.

Is that a typo or am I missing something?

yh didnt they both have aces up on the turn and patty was freerolling???

They both had outs to scoop but Antonious had twice as many.

I just wanna know where the 53.74% figure came from.

This is a good read........

http://blogs.cardrunners.com/BLAG/an-unstoppable-force-meets-1258491260

6-tabling with CTS at 200/400 plo atm. Pretty good action, every pot is 3-bet pre and Cole has upper hand atm.

dam missed cole lose 1.4mill to isil hu at plo I think ;kev;

durrr did some more to him I believe and is also playing Brian Townsend hu plo atm rotflmfao wat a degen.

hes playing antonius, durrr and ivey hu just now 500/1k lol. craziness

Just saw this too. Guy is sick!

The good thing about this isildur fella is that nobody gives a fuck about fullflush anymore

fullflush is playin 25/50 plo right now if anyone interested ;)

[X] Waiting for FullFlush rant about Isildur...

i got a tip the other day saying that isildur is bluescouse on a spin up

Doubt this will ever happen. Fullflush said on the Pokershow a few months ago when asked about Durrr that he wasn't nearly as good as Blom90 and it was only a matter of time before Blom took to the American sites and carved them up.

I have a pretty close Swedish friend who plays high-stakes, he told me that Isildur1 is infact Viktor Blom aka Blom90 who crushed HU on iPoker, he mainly 6 tabled $200-400 where he made over $5m I also heard that Luke "_Fullflush1_" Schwartz said that Blom90 is the best opponent he has faced HU so far online.

Ivey took over a million of isi last night two tabling.

He's currently paying 4 tbles against PA PLO.

PA loses 500k pot. He holds J993. Isi had Q1097

Flop QQ9

and now ISi is 6 tabling PLO

4 against PA

2 against Ivey

http://www.pokerbloggs.com/high-stakes-poker-biographies/viktor-blom-biography

'Viktor is relentless, hyper aggressive, and capable of making 15k calls with K high on scary boards.'

The guy has like 3 million swings every day and they mention that he can call 15k with K high. Sighhhhh.

he looks like torres

 ;kev; ;kev; ;kev; ;kev; ;kev; ;kev;

He's clearly not your type he's got small eyes,all about the money tut tut

That's exactly how I described him isn't it Maria?!

Yes Andy, pretty bang on.  My drooling of course has nothing to do with the words - 20, swedish, blonde, minted (at the mo), fit, clever & a torres thang going on!

Obv just like his name......

He is currently playing Ivey on FT - $500/1000 NL on 2 tables.

yeh watching 1.7m in play on the 2 tables

and PA at 500/1000 PLO on 2 tables.

This is probably as tough as it can get for him, he is definitely playing the best HU PLO player in the world and almost certainly playing the best big name HU NL player in the world. Interesting to see the outcome he hit the front but now a chunk behind if stacks get reversed on the table he is in front with Ivey on we could see another +$2 mill night loss night.
Has to quit PA at HU PLO imo and give Ivey a lot less action as he seems prone to locking up 500k-$1mill wins.

iveys backed isil to win the 25k plo @ 10-1

lol if they both final it

wow! PA sitting on 1m at one table lol.

PA is God

So many sick pots!!!!! Well worth watching

Isildur1 : wanna play more tables
durrrr :havent time now, but im after transferring the rest of my bankroll to pa and ivey to save you time playing them later
Isildur1: ty
durrrr: np


So true.

According to PokerTableRatings.com, Isildur1 has taken a commanding $3.9 million off of Dwan in 38,000 hands. The next highest tally belongs to Sahamies, who has contributed $854,000 to Isildur1’s bankroll over 2,700 hands. Other “best friends” of Isildur1 include South ($707,000), Haseeb Qureshi ($452,000), David Benyamine ($297,000), UgotaBanana ($293,000), Observer84 ($110,000), jungleman12 ($46,000), I Win Flips ($46,000), and Spirit Rock ($44,000).

While Isildur1 has taken $3.9 million off Dwan, he’s dropped $3.6 million to Antonius. Other “worst enemies” of Isildur1 who have earned more than $100,000 off of him include Phil Ivey (-$2.7 million), trex313 (-$144,000), and Brian Hastings (-$130,000)

Tony G was in the game tonight at 300/600 ring PLO and said 'bye Viktor' in the chat.

http://my.pokernews.com/xTonyGx/busy-in-london.htm

He seems pretty convinced it's him,seems to be almost accepted that it is now.

Tony G would be more likely to know than most I guess,being owner or director(or whatever he is) of Pokernews ?

durrrr is 'cash busto'?
Must remember that one next time my mum asks. 'Oh yeah, busto, but only..... cash busto'.

means he must have assets that he could sell like a house and a car and possibly a buisness

Reckon i'd just stick with those and go play CoD

lol @ being durrrrr's maid filling in forms.



Reason for leaving last job?

Employer had a King high flush.

Ha Ha, look like Ziigmund went from Nearly 2m up to 2m down v him in the last 24hrs. That is just ridiculous..........

Has Isildur done it all back? I hope not :(

Also read somewhere Viktor Blom said it was not him

I saw on 2+2 last night that Isildur asked CTS to give him a spin for his last money in NL after South beat him out of about 800k in PLO.

Some people also suggesting it could be Robert 'Gulkines' Fink.

heard this too, totally busto now supposedly, how sick to grind and be one of the most feared 25/50 players ever over the past 5/6 years then just take a shot and lose the lot.

FYP

He basically won the lot playing nlh and blew it playing plo right?

Courtesy of HSDB.

Isildur takes a $5m+ hit.

The life of a high stakes poker player is nothing if not interesting. Win a fortune one day, lose it the next. For Isildur1 these past few weeks has certainly been a rollercoaster the like of which we have never seen before. And yesterday he again made some kind of history, losing a total of 5.3 million dollars to a wide range of players.

When there is blood in the water, the sharks show up in great numbers, and this was certainly the case during this period. The table to the right shows everyone who took on Isildur1, as well as their results against him. The usual suspects reign at the top of the list, but there was enough to go around for some of the others as well.

In total, Isildur1 has lost about $1.3M over the last six weeks, and when you consider that durrrr hast lost about five million dollars to him, you could say that the main thing that Isildur1 has done is to spread durrrr’s money around to the other players. The main beneficiary has been Phil Ivey, who won $2.7M, followed by Ziigmund and Patrik Antonius with $1.9M each, while Brian Townsend was also able to get away with a $1.7M win.

sick sick sick sick,

i feel sick!!

Find this almost impossible to believe as Blom is renowned as a sick NLH specialist and Gulkines as a sick PLO player. From the results and the 1000s of hands i've watched this has to be Blom, he has done all the money back playing at times retarded HU PLO.

Apparently deposited 60k back on full tilt today and so far has spun it up to 1.1 mill. Started at 50/100 plo and is currently 6 tabling 500/1000 plo v durrr...........LOLZ

It is absolutely terrible that tracking sites are allowed/capable to track players action so closely.

No wonder the Cirque de Soliel guy packed in online poker when the railtards abused him so mercilessly.

Yep, especially so for the big players.

Make that 60k to 1.7mill, gg durrrr, he was sick unlucky in 2 big pots though.

Durrr has taken an absolute battering from Isildur on the whole.

Think Townsend, CTS, Ziig, Ivey and Pat are all either up or evenish on him.

a reason to allow name changes IMHO

Guy Laliberte had at least 4 different sn's on full tilt, all massive losers.

massive losers because he was so poor and so rich

he left cause of the abuse from rail

if he was able to change his name once a week

he could play on without the abuse

Didn't Guy stop playing because he went into space?

they not got the internet on the space station?

Could have turned the chat box off?

no idea i dont watch online poker i just go by what others say


but giving people the chance to change there names will stop the databases which must piss off the fish

as of today:

Bold names are GUY.

From this thread where many people watched as it happened:

He started with 60k 6-tabling 6max 50/100 (had no more we think because couldn't auto rebuy until he won a bit).

Moved up to 100/200 PLO v Brian Townsend, Lost 20k and requested 200/400, won a bit and moved to 300/600 - all 6-tabling. Took BT for about ~900K.

When BT quits Durrrr jumps in but Isi demands they play NLH. They agree on 6 tables 300/600. Later they move to 500/1K PLO. Isi took durrr for ~700k.

60k to 1.5 million and then now 5/1k v Ziggy.

Takes Ziggy for ~1.4 million.

60K > 3 million < 24 hours

such a degen!

He's my hero.

Wow! Makes you wanna take shots reading stuff like this.. ban this thread pls lol ;)

Wow

Spin ups on another level!

This guy is a sicko!

Think he just hammered Townsend for 2 mill+ playin hu plo 500/1000.

It seems like all the cardrunners guys are teaming against him,almost taking it in turns trying to wear him down,but failing miserably  :D


Isildur1: how about 6 fresh tables ?
Brian Hastings: 4 fresh ones sounds fine
Brian Hastings: not doin 6 sorry
Isildur1: 5
Brian Hastings: 4
Isildur1: we just to play 6
Isildur1: come on
Brian Hastings: cole said hed play 2 on the side
Isildur1: u dcides everything
Isildur1: lets play nl instead then
Brian Hastings: ok fine ill play 6 plo
Brian Hastings: gimme a min tho
Isildur1: ty
Isildur1: sure

haha bullied into 6 tabling ftw haha

I read that as kept from playing the game he has an edge in....

But I think it swings back his way with more tables from what I've seen. His only real mistake IMO is playing multiple opponents across many tables.

He seems to be up a fair bit against Hastings at the minute

If more tables means edge for Isuldur and PLO over NLHE means edge for the other guy then it seems like a fair enough comromise.

You can't have all the shit your way.

i dont think isildur has that big an edge, watch him and townsend play a session theres not really a skill differential at all, they play 4-6 tables for hours on end supper agg and just let the varience sort it out, its how you win 6-7 mill in a month then lose it all again then smash back up to 3 mill from 60k in 3 days.

it's stupid, theres about 5-6 of them just pushing the dough around between eachother and whoever runs best........

I think Doyle made a point about similar situations pointing out that the player with the biggest bankroll can ride out the swings and then get all the other guy's money as the downswing will wipe him out.

Has lost 3.8 mill to hastings in the last couple of hours :(

Wow thats super sick. When I came home from the football isil was just finishing against Townsend and within about an hour he was a milly up against Stinger.

Wow so sick...according to HSDB....

Hastings winnings in 2867 hands across the last 24 hours is $4,206,960.

Meanwhile Isildur1 is down $3,013,363.

And from 2+2....

Isildur1: ??????????
Brian Hastings: getting very tired...
Brian Hastings: i feel bad quitting tho
Brian Hastings: would be be cool w/ playing someone else?
Isildur1: just f off
Isildur1: wåfä'qqqqqqqnhjwe4nm
Isildur1: dW
Isildur1: GFE4¨ÅN,K N,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,K3
Isildur1: Q
Isildur1: u know how lucky u are ?
Brian Hastings: yes i know
Isildur1: i can promise this is the worst
Brian Hastings: ill give you 30 more min if you want
Isildur1: luck anyone had
Brian Hastings: but im rly tired
Isildur1: k 30 mins more
Isildur1: take my last $$
Isildur1: i dont want it
Isildur1: ::S:S

According to the railbirds Isil ran $3m below EV.

Nice little $1,400/hand win for Stinger

Just read that about it this morning, the gossip was he hit quite a few runner runner suckouts, he seems to admit it was mostly luck too, thats quite crazy for a 4 million win.

....the isildur roller coaster continues.

Watched some of while playing a bit. Hastings got very, very lucky in some big pots and set over setted him many times, towards the end not surprisingly he was tilting a fair bit as well. On 2+2 someone posted and +EV graph and it showed he was +2 million.  :(

The chat towards the end when Hastings wanted to leave to lock up the win.

Isildur1: take my last $$
Isildur1: i dont want it

LOL

And for that reason, ah'm out...

I would LOVE to be 3 mill over ev. Surely hastings will have had like 1/5 his action though, otherwise would be a great day to quit poker and retire!

Rly tilts me when people say stuff like this.

Why would he retire? He's like a 20 year old guy who crushes the game he loves.

Not like he fluke won 3mil on roulette and decided to keep playing every day for the rest of his life.

Would him banking 2.5mill, and grinding 25 fiddy HU NL crushing anyone in his path for an amazing hourly rate with his life set up for him tilt you as much?

I realise he is a gambletard hence he's got to these stakes but how long until isildur2 comes and is an 18 yr old finnish sea urchin who only 12 tables hu and doesn't have a lose option.....

Just wasn't realistic that's all. By your methods Ivey and Antonius would have long since retired and disappeared.

What's realistic?

Thinking cashing out is a better idea?

Or that playing the worlds best at the highest stakes in a game where you have a minute edge at best and where the edge is diminishing/swinging the other way depending on the adjustments being made is a better long term investment. It's not like hasting can really afford for the variance he just enjoyed to go completely against him and for him to have a 3-4 mill downswong in one session.

[  ] You know what Stinger's edge is

[  ] You know what Stinger's roll is / how much he had of himself in that match.

Think I read on P5s today that Stinger had 100% of himself

Speculation on that stuff doesn't matter.

[ ] stinger knows what his edge is imo


but your grumpy and i'm not trying to argue just making a point cos. so be happy :)

you are correct about 1 thing - today I'm very grumpy and obstreperous.

I will endeavour to buy you the first pint at Monte Carlo next week. xx

P.s. Do you like a lot of ice in your tap water? :P

No otherwise I wont get as much water. DUCY! rotflmfao


I'm blatantly correct about stinger not knowing his edge tho ! :) Durr thought he knew in NLH then 5mill dorrar said norrrrrrr.

my edge in NLHE PLO PLO8 and O8 over 99.999999999999999% of the population is so massive its unreal
but its negated by the fact i dont have a total disregard for money
and hate spending £2.50 never mind £2.5M

Blatant "I'm Scottish" brag post imo.

you jealous?

Diplomatic answer would be NO !!

railtard1 on here won a pretty big pot against durrr this morning.

im rootin for durrrrr o rebuild his roll n dominate the highstakes.

i'll stake him 5$

I may have had a dream about you last nite ironside, someone was after me and i found out his name was ironside. i dunno if it was you or to do with blonde or poker at all...i cant remember that much. I think he was a big black gangster, lol pretty strange.

That's him, Head of the Elgin Massive.

ffs stodee boys would noramlly do your legs in for being in the elgin massive
stodee boy till i die

Whoooooooooooooooo?

I think they're like a Pict tribe or something. Quite dangerous as most of them are still pissed that they never got chosen as extras in Braveheart.

stu and tank pic a window














 cause i am going to make you clean it

Window 7 plz

i'd go for vista easier to clean

but Window 7 is my idea

your to blame?

No wind up James, pretty sure Railtard1 won a 10k coup off Durr at $25/50 PLO now that Durrrballs has moved down.

Pretty interesting 2+2 thread, although the likelyhood of him getting any money back is small the poster makes a good point, it appears as though Hastings and co broke the rules and have already admitted it.





 Could isildur1 get his money back because of Hastings + co 'cheating'
Hastings etc told ESPN they shared their hand histories in order to get a read on his playing style. Cardrunners crew are in effect admitting to violating the site's terms and conditions:

Not Permitted Under Any Circumstances:

2. Shared hand history databases and "data mining" software, including subscription services and the exchange of personal databases:

The use of shared hand histories provides detailed information on opponents a player has little or no personal experience playing against, and is deemed to be an unfair advantage. Violating this policy is subject to the maximum penalties for prohibited software use.

Players are not permitted to use the hand histories for hands that they have not personally participated in. Software designed to collect hand history information from games that the player did not participate in is prohibited. Some specific examples include:

•community shared hand histories
•exchanging hand histories with a friend

durrrr and antonious doing their challenge again right now, seems an odd time for durrr to want to kick this off again?

Not really.

High stakes action has died since Isil bust, Guy moved to Jupiter and Gus went for his Xmas break.

With Durr on a big downswing but being ahead by quite a way in the challenge it seems understandable that he'd want to finish up and collect half a mil from Patrik.

didnt think he had the roll left to do it though, he was playing 25/50 a week ago.

He was playing 25/50 50/100 and 100/200 all at the same time then, so he still had a decent amount online I woul think.

Might have got Ivey to send him a couple mil to offset against his piece of the FTP pie until he upswings lol

"The penalty will potentially cost Townsend thousands of dollars in rakeback and wages."   :'(


Didn't they just bust him for multi-accounting? How many red cards can you get before they get really angry?


I have some good hand histories on Kara Scott I could pass on to him for a small fee.

i think they should be forced to give the lot back just for being so fucking moronic.

I can see both sides on this one.

"suspended from his red pro status for one month" ....... Pathetic!

Back 6 tabling 50/100  :)

Isildur1 engaged in three major heads-up battles including his first significant rematch with Brian Hastings since their infamous $4.2 million session. This time, Isildur1 was on the winning end, pillaging Hastings’ bankroll to the tune of $505,000. However, he ran into a buzz saw when he met up with Brian Townsend the following evening, dropping $658,000 to the CardRunners pro.

Isildur1 wins $505,000 from Brian Hastings in PLO rematch

Late Tuesday night, Isildur1 and Hastings sat down at six tables of $300/$600 pot-limit Omaha in their first heads-up match of significance since Hastings cleaned Isildur1 out to the tune of $4.2 million back in December. After an hour and a half of play, Isildur1 took $504,780 off Hastings, including the session’s largest pot at $274,197.

Hastings led off the betting, opening for $1,800 from the button. This set off a raising war that ended with both players all-in before the flop, Hastings holding {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Isildur1 with {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The board ran out {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, Isildur1 rivering a king-high straight to win the monsterpotten.

Bonomo reclaims $251,000 from Isildur1 in NLHE battle

Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo may have suffered the largest single-day loss of his career on Tuesday when he lost over half a million dollars to Isildur1, but he was able to reclaim nearly half of those losses yesterday when they met again on the virtual felt. The two played six tables of $100/$200 and later $200/$400 no-limit hold’em, Bonomo winning $251,383 after 1,177 hands.

Bonomo claimed the largest pot of the match at $105,198. Like the aforementioned $274K pot Isildur1 played against Hastings, both players committed their entire stacks preflop, Isildur1 holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} against Bonomo’s {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Isildur1 couldn’t improve on the {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} board, Bonomo winning with a set of jacks.

Townsend crushes Isildur1 for $658K

Following his no-limit hold’em match against Bonomo, Isildur1 ventured back into dangerous territory — the $300/$600 pot-limit Omaha tables where he took on Brian Townsend in a four-table heads-up match. Townsend leaped out to a $500,000 lead within the first half hour, but Isildur1 found his stride and clawed his way back to even before losing it all back and then some. When all was said and done, Townsend left with a $657,996 profit.

Townsend and Isildur1 played eight pots over $200,000, Townsend claiming the largest at $415,986. Townsend led off the action with a raise to $1,800 from the button, Isildur1 three-bet to $5,400, and Townsend called. Isildur1 led out for $7,800 on the {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, Townsend raised to $24,600, Isildur1 repopped it to $84,600, and Townsend called, the pot swelling to $180,000. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Isildur1 moved all-in for $117,993. Townsend called, turning up {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw while Isildur1 showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a set of sixes. Luck was with Townsend on this one — he hit the {2-Hearts} to make his flush, wresting the $415,986 pot from the Swede.

I love monsterpottens

Do they have run it twice options on some tables now on Full Tilt?

Yeah

Profits pfrofit mate, don't knock it.

Lol, not much of a net profit there. I bet Isildur was feeling really down after that particular session...

I think sum1's been letting their Girlfriend play their Fulltilt poker account again!

Sigh, the Degen is 6 tabling 5/1k v hastings again now after binking 1 mill in the last day, hope he wins this time :)

[ ] He Sure learned his lesson
[ ] He Sure wont play PLO again

15 mins and he drops half a mill back, mixture of bad play and coolers from what I saw..........

worst thing is im not even watching lol dont have FT on my new laptop

lol

[  ] Correct use of checkboxes

rofl

:D

[ ] I sure couldn't disagree with you less

my head just exploded trying to work out the double negatives

been getting the lot on betfair. playing as omphalotus or summat like that it appears. looks really fun to play with.

6 tabling hastings 500/1k plo again!!

gg

Not this time.

Looks like Isildur is up 1.5million in the last day or so...

The tag teamers were out in force again, played south, Hastings, but denied action to Townsend straight after preferring to play Zee Justin at NL. If he doesn't play them one after the other for long sessions I fancy he will get some of his money back. Hastings was actually tilting towards the end of the session as well.

Now v Cole South, no doubt Hastings and Townsend are in the wings............

Looks like he's running good atm...

I try not to laugh with the donks from 2+2 that much but sometimes you just can't help it.........

NL v Galfond now, this will be a proper test for him..........

How'd he do?

badly -$1.6m

He got himself back to being +$1m on Full Tilt yesterday (lifetime)...has nosedived to -$1.25m since then...

Someone posted a link on 2+2 to a very recent Dang Bros interview where they said they had bought a large piece of Durrr in the last battles he had vs isildur which cost them $3million. They subsequently had to move down to $50-100 from the $500/1000k they were playing.

I also think Galfond had a large piece.

ya Dang brothers seem v cool in that interview. :)up

Look, here's his blog! http://isildur1blog.blogspot.com/

Nice taste in music, bit like my own

Matchroom Sport and PartyPoker are delighted to announce the huge news that mysterious high stakes poker legend Isildur1 will be making his TV debut at the PartyPoker.com Big Game IV at Les Ambassadeurs club in Mayfair, London on April 11-13. The legendary cash game will take place at the prestigious venue for 48 hours straight!

The poker world has been speculating on the identity of the man whose high stakes battles with Tom "Durrrr" Dwan, Ziigmund and Patrick Antonius have held the online community spellbound. In a recent blog, Matchroom Sport managing director Eddie Hearn issued an invitation to Isildur1 to take part in the Big Game, and after joining forces with his backer, Team Party pro Tony G, the speculation will end as Isildur1 sits down in Mayfair.

"It was important to me that Isildur1 made his first major TV appearance on one of our shows," said Hearn. "Tony and I have worked hard to ensure this happened and we are delighted to welcome him to the PartyPoker.com Big Game IV. Even without an identity, Isildur1 has become the biggest name in poker within six months of high stakes online action. Quite simply, this will be the most hotly anticipated poker show of all time."

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: "Please note this is not an April fool, Isildur1 has joined the line-up!"

The PartyPoker.com Big Game IV has a new presenting sponsor in the form of PokerNews.com. As part of the deal, PokerNews.com will have branding at the event and the bonus PartyPot offered to players every hour will now be the PokerNews pot. PokerNews.com is also offering two freeroll seats to play in the game. A 'weakest link style' eviction process will take place during the game where one player can evicted from the table and for the very first time the players will be coming to the tables with walk-on music! PokerNews.com will be hosting a forum where players get to decide what record they want the players to walk in to. For example, Tony G could be 'Back in the USSR,' by The Beatles, Isildur1 could be 'Sweet Little Mystery' by Wet, Wet, Wet - Luke 'FullFlush' Schwartz could be 'Teenage Dirtbag,' by Wheatus. How about Neil Channing? 'I am a Rock' by Simon and Garfunkel? The debate and decision making starts soon on PokerNews.com.

Isildur1 joins a line-up that includes Team PartyPoker.com's Tony G, Premier League IV runner-up Luke "Full Flush" Schwartz, World Open V champion and Premier League hotshot Phil Laak, serial WSOP casher Isaac Haxton, Neil Channing, Laurence Grondin and Jennifer Tilly. There are more big names to follow, with the action to be screened first on Five in the UK later in the year and then distributed internationally.

The third edition of the tournament saw Andrew Feldman and Robert Williamson III walk away as the biggest winners in a field that included Roland De Wolfe, Ian Frazer, Juha Helppi and Barny Boatman, while the first two editions of the tournament included WSOP main event champion Jamie Gold, Brian Townsend, Tony G, Phil Hellmuth Chris Ferguson, Kenna James and Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott

FYP  ;)

Now my spam editing is over, I'm actually going to be at this event for Pokernews and hoping to 'reveal' who Isildur actually is before anyone else and bag an interview with him, so anyone with any questions for him lemme know. i was going to go with 'so who the fookin hell are ya?' as an opener.

haven't tony and luke already revealed him?

What does his screen name refer to/mean? How does he cope with suck spin ups/downs?

well they have at different times said he was Victor Blom, but that remains to be seen, I think if it was him it would be confirmed by now

do you know i thought i knew the answer to this, but i misheard

I thought Stu Ungars dad was called Isildur - but it isnt it was Isadore - phonetically not a million miles apart thou - that would have been a cool reason thou..............

Last week Gutshot.com sent me to Sweden to track down Viktor Blom.  

I've posted the first three parts of my report in the articles section of their site.    I started out in Uddevalla. 

Day 4, Gothenberg, will be posted tomorrow, and the concluding Day 5 will go up on Saturday.  

I don't know if the mods will let me post the links here, but I think it's a good story, do check it out!

interesting read... keep it coming...

Mods pls can I post links?

Bad swedish accent....

Video was really shot in a back room at the International, ofc

A well written piece bro,

cheers

nice, whens the next one out?

No sorry.

people can view the articles on a site if they work out what card they need to hit with 10 Q v A A on a  A K 9 board  

The articles are on Jack.com?

suits?

Just wondering in general why forums don't allow you to link to other forums or articles, its not exactly spam is it?

most forums are compertion for each other

lets say forum "A" let you post a link to another forum
then you read an article there about totallyshithotpokerwithnakedladies.com and you click the link too it on the other sites forum then forum "A" will miss out on the small bit of revenue that they might of gained if you had clicked from there site

owning a poker website is an expensive buisness just ask flushy who used to be ballaa but is now just bala

Fair play

The moderation policies here make me feel like my GUT has been SHOT.  COM on!!!

Anyway part 4 is now up! 

people have there choices they are aell know if they want a bunch of babyjanes they know how to get there

Good job so far, are you releasing the articles daily?

Yes, part 5 will be up this time tomorrow, probably before.

Not sure if there will be a part 6, might be able to fit it into one piece.

can you please IM me the link please?

just put link as sig imo. its your blog amirite?

if i was blom id think about getting you clipped. Like he's a young kid who doesnt want people to treat him differently, maybe his parents are anti-gambling, he's winning and losing quietly, and then theres you tracking him down like a predator for the big poker scoop. He's 19 and doesnt want the glam life so gtfo imo.

Having said that, your articles are well written, but im actually rooting for you not to find him.

would be pretty funny if this were true and they were unaware he was upstairs 8 tabling with $3m swings

Day 5 is now up! 

These pieces aren't on my blog - they're in the articles section of the Gutshot site.

If he wants to keep quiet, there are bigger names with louder voices than mine shouting his name out from the rooftops- like Tony G and FullFlush!

By that logic, if there's two blokes with bigger willys than yours raping someone in the carpark...

Part 6 - the final part! - is now up!!  You know where to go!

Is Isildur1 Viktor Bloom? I thought he was a group of icelandic players who were backed by someone

nah its defo viktor bloom as google search prooved

lol good skilz

Maybe "genius" would be an overstatement, but this made me laugh:

It is that boring with that line up. I mean, some of the are friends of mine, but it's hardly a line up to rival High Stakes Poker. Same old faces, most of whom are not only not very good, but they don't even make good TV. The more they can do to detract from the poker the better. Maybe they should have let the punters choose the walk on music, I was discussing it with Channing, his original thought, having been told Matchroom wanted to jazz it up with music, was to have 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now'. Any suggestions for more appropriate music for this lot?!

Zimbler - (The International Poker) School's Out - Alice Cooper

i havent heard of half those guys you think tilly was invited in the hope that lack would play too?

what's the story???

just a while back, a tiff in a poker club.

No biggie. As i don't know half of the runners it's tricky to make songs for them!

disagreement with doorman. Basically sam is a bit handy.

Sam punched the doorman at dtd in the face and was banned for a while. He was drunk at the time.

Has he got a trophy though?

I'll lay a deece price they have a UKIPT there

Hes up a casual 4 milli for the year now

After a heavy losing session on Wednesday that saw him drop half a million dollars, Viktor Blom was back to winning ways on Thursday.

Many on the rail must have been fearing the worst when Isildur1 dropped over $350,000 in quick time to Kyle "cottonseed1" Hendon. The Swede soon recovered from that early setback though and put in a dominant performance against Tom Dwan at the triple draw tables which saw him take Durrrr for $300,000. He was even more dominant at the heads up triple draw and PLO tables against Ben 'Sauce1234' Sulsky, crushing him for a whopping $730k.

All told, Blom was up over half a million dollars on the day, taking his earnings since the start of the year past the $4m mark. It's like 2009 all over again.

Update – Isildur1 has continued his phenomenal start to 2013, booking another $600k plus profit against Ben 'Sauce1234' Sulsky at the PLO tables. According to HighStakesDB.com, the latest session puts Blom up $4.6m since 1 January and over $5m up since Full Tilt Poker relaunched.

The biggest pot of the contest was a $427k monster that saw all the money go in on a 4d8sQh board. Isildur1's 9dJdQdKd needed help against Sulsky's AcAs6d5s and it came on both runnings. A Jh3d on the first running gave Blom top two and the Swede scooped the lot on the second running after rivering a straight.

Galfond Crushes Blom

Viktor "Isildur1" Blom won more than $4 million on Full Tilt Poker in the first eight days of 2013. It was a rush we hadn't seen in a long time at the high-stakes online poker tables, and Blom admitted on Twitter that he was on the "sickest run of cards ever."

But as the popular saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

Blom gave back $1.7 million of his profits over the weekend, including more than $1 million to his friend Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond. According to HighStakesDB.com, the two superstars went to war Sunday afternoon playing three tables of $200/$400 pot-limit Omaha. Galfond catapulted out to a $400,000 lead after just 200 hands, at which point Blom requested that they move to $300/600 with "run it twice" enabled. Once again, Galfond raced out to a huge lead, taking $415,000 in less than 200 hands. After taking a short break from PLO, Blom returned later in the day to take another crack at Galfond and struck out again by handing over more than $370,000.

During his 11-hour session, Blom also faced off against recent PCA Super High Roller champ Scott "mastrblastr" Seiver, as well as high-stakes regulars "SallyWoo," "cottonseed1," and Ben "Sauce1234" Sulsky. Despite massive losses on Sunday, Blom is still the biggest online winner of 2013, but Galfond is quickly creeping up on his Swedish comrade.

For a closer look at Blom's losses, be sure to check out the Online Railbird Report later this week. HighStakesDB.com also has more on Blom's session against Galfond.

A cheeky mill in a session, aint no thing.

he's so sick, there's a decent chance he'll be the best player on the planet in every game in a few years time.

Blonde's own WotRthechances wrote this in the OP of his diary a year ago


A nice summary I thought. And a year on, it seems WotR was right.

#1 diarist in action.

I can't see how Isildur can become better than the specialists. But people said that about Ivey and Hawrilenko (Hoss_tbf) and we know how that ended, although i would say lol samplesize.

Sauce will be #1 nlhe player for foreseeable future, the guy is too smart and works too hard, he is/will take the game to the next level. Anyone seen/read much about his bvb limping 100bb deep in cash games?

Kids got haart.

watched this last night, what a boss!

The Boys on fire again. Won 5 million this year and only needs another 2mill to be back at his highest peak before his infamous Brian Hastings clash

Great Stuff

Has he played at the WSOP at all this year?

If not why not?

Guess $2m profit in the last week means you can afford to let the plane ticket go.  Good news for the layers too ;)

Probably for similar reasons to durrrr.  He reg'd the main yesterday and didn't turn up at all for Day 1.  Blinded down to 17k or so.  When you play for hundreds of thousands on a daily basis I imagine there isn't much interest in a tournament where you buy in for 5bb.

2+2 said he was playing OFC for 3k a point with Hansen and some Macau fish!

i was playing at Aria last week and they were playing a game like this on the table next to us, was Shaun Deeb, Mercier and Hansen and there was plenty of chips hanging about. looked fun

Sick Graph............. nearly plus $5 million in 6 months  ( probably more if you count x booking )

Incred tekkers!

He's so sick, such a huge huge huge unbelievable boss.

Ridiculous what he does and how often he does it! The frequency of these insane spin ups mask there sheer lunacy!

And the way he does it too, "what's the game? Ok you've been playing and studying it for 10 years, what's the biggest we can play? Let's go!" and he holds his own too!

Interesting to see how this current spin ends, one thing is for sure he isn't going to quit so I guess he either breaks everyone or does it back... Whatever happens it's going to be fkn sick to rail, iv been around high stakes poker for years but first thing I do every day at the moment is go to HSDB and see how isildur did yday!!!
