Isildur1 Speaks About his $4 Million Loss to Brian Hastings
“Isildur1″ has been silent and anonymous since he broke into the high-stakes games on Full Tilt Poker back in October. Since then, he has been on a wild ride, filled with million-dollar swings that saw both the largest online poker hand ever played, as well as the biggest online poker win during a single session, achieved by Brian Hastings.
Are Team Cardrunners Cheaters or Just Hard Workers?
Brian Hastings had played against Isildur1 only three times before he obliterated him, but he, Cole South and Brian Townsend conglomerated their hand histories, which gave them bigger sample of hands to study how the mystery Swede plays.
Durrrr’s Big Day and Challenge Play
The high stakes games on Full Tilt may have died down for a day or two since Isildur1’s epic $5 million downswing, but things were not all quiet on the online poker front for long. After laying low for a little while, Tom “durrrr” Dwan got back to his winning ways on Friday, racking up nearly $1 million in profit and even finding time to play a short Challenge session with Patrik Antonius.
Isildur1 in the Red After $2.5 Million Loss
In J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” anthology, Isildur is one of the kings of the great kingdom of Gondor. He is best known for cutting the infamous, “one ring to rule them all,” off the evil Lord Sauron’s finger and saving the world from complete destruction. Then, rather than destroy the ring, he insisted on holding on to it because of his own greed and hubris, resulting in his subsequent murder and the second great battle for Middle Earth that we all went and saw the Peter Jackson version of at the movies a few years ago.
