Isildur1 Wins another Half Million


Posted 3/2/11 : Another $495 000 drubbing handed out to Urnotindangr
 
Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom has enlivened the high stakes tables at Pokerstars for the second time in forty eight hours, again handing out a very expensive drubbing to fellow high stakes pro Scott ‘urnotindangr’ Palmer.
 
The Swedish phenom took another $495 000 off Palmer in addition to the $620 000 he won off him the night before. It was, however, not without a tough fight as the two played through 7 700 hands of $100/$200 Pot Limit Omaha in a heads up spectacular that lit up the railbird forums.
 
At one point Blom went down $700 000 after starting off well and building his lead to $200 000.
 
For Blom the last two long nightly sessions have been a case of getting some payback against Palmer, who has beaten the Swede convincingly in previous exchanges. Palmer fared little better against other opponents, going down a further $81 000 during a disastrous evening.
 
In the same evening, other nosebleed players enjoyed a profitable night, with MrSweets28 taking home $468 000, and Gavz101 picking up $308 000, whilst across at Full Tilt a $287 000 profit over the night was taken by Andreas “skjervoy” Torbergsen.
 
Other big losers on the night were LuckyGump, who dropped $325 000, and Compris, who was down $238 000.
