isildur1 Hits Pokerstars for 620,000

Posted 3/1/11 : Pokerstars pro takes home $620 000
 
Viktor ‘Isildur1' Blom is firing on all cylinders again, judging by his performance over a single night session on the Pokerstars online nosebleed tables this week.
 
The enigmatic young Swede hammered fellow ace Scott ‘urnotindangr' Palmer over 745 hands, taking $620 000 off him and laying to rest the growing suspicion that Palmer is Isildur1's nemesis
 
The two played $50/$100 Pot Limit Omaha with a mandatory three-bet pushing the stakes higher.
 
For online poker railbirds, the session resurrected the excitement of past years when the then anonymous Isildur1 became a legend with his aggressively audacious action….and his propensity to ride a wild roller coaster of big wins and losses, often in the millions of dollars.
 
According to independent stats, Palmer is not in the red yet, with positive account balances of over a million and a quarter at the two main high stakes poker sites Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars.
 
Another big loser over the night was the Finnish poker pro Patrik Antonius, who reportedly went down a massive almost $660 000 over 359 hands on the Full Tilt virtual tables.
