Isildur1 Up Well Over $1 Million in 2010 – Beats Sahamies for over $600K

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Isildur1 has been one of the most talked about online players so far this year. After winning about $526,000 over this past weekend, Isildur1 played against Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies.

Sahamies lost over $487,000 against Isildur1 while playing $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha on Full Tilt. They played PLO for approximately 450 hands. They then decided to face off at the $500/$1,000 Pot Limit Omaha tables and played for about 40 minutes.

After 259 hands Sahamies signed off and was down another $290,000. After Sahamies left, Isildur1 played $200/$400 No Limit Holdem versus Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo. Bonomo wound up taking about $187,000 from Isildur1 after 791 hands.

Next, Isildur1 faced off against both Cole South and Brian Hastings. South lost $334,000 after 825 hands, and Hastings ended up about $330,000 after 224 hands. They were playing $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha.

Hastings convinced Isildur1 to play $500/$1,000 stakes and they played for 468 hands and Hastings was able to come away from the table up another $219,000.

Isildur1 also played 565 hands of $100/$200 Pot Limit Omaha against Cole South where he won $222,000. They then decided to play $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha for 344 hands and South managed to make back about $78,000.

Isildur1 totaled about $573,000 on the day and that put his winnings well over $1 million in 2010 so far.
