Isildur1 VS Brian Townsend

Brain Townsend would come back to take on Isildur1 on 4 screens of $300/600 Pot Limit Omaha at Full Tilt Poker. Brain would take about 600k from Viktor before quiting him. Isildur1 shows his frustration here:

Dealer: Isildur1 shows three of a kind, Aces
Dealer: Isildur1 wins the pot ($253,198.50) with three of a kind, Aces
Isildur1: how can u quit ?

Earlier this week, Brian Townsend took $1.1 million off of the Swede Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 and had quit him abruptly. People might view this as hit and run poker, or you could view it as guerrilla warfare on the felt.

Brian would have about 4 of Isildur1’s buy – ins on 2 screens. So 8 buy-ins of 100k but Isildur1 would have 500k on one screen. Then on the other, Brian would have a couple more buyins.

Ziigmund takes on Isildur1

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 has been on an upswing lately. He’s been practicing a bit of avoidance against Phil Ivey, or at least not playing him on 1 or 2 screens. Isildur1 recently defeated Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan aka durrrr for a couple of million combined this week. But, Isildur1 did lose around a million to Full Tilt Poker red pro Brian Townsend. And now, Ilari Sahamies aka Ziigmund has come into the Mix by taking on the 6 tabling high stakes Swede.

Ziigmund would go on to lose $800k or more combined on 4 screens of heads up $500/1000
Pot Limit Omaha at Full Tilt Poker. Ziigmund would get his money in in this huge pot against the Swede:

then Ziigmund would go all in on the turn in this pot:

Isildur1 would end up with massive stacks on 4 screens:

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 is on a tear this week, and is up about $2,000,000 or $2,500,000 in just 3 days. Yesterdays session only took about 2 hours to win close to a million of more. There is no doubt that the $500/1000 Pot Limit Omaha games at Full Tilt have become a battle ground for the poker rich and famous, and/or soon to be famous.

Carzy Action is the name of a 300/600 Pot Limit Omaha at Full Tilt Poker. Sounds like a good name for a table with Tom Dwan aka durrrr, Viktor Blom aka Isildur1, and Trex313…

I started watching late (around 3a.m.), and Isildur1 had around 300k already. Tony G sat for a minute and left, then Durrrr sat down, and then soon after Trex313 and Tonyg leave. Immediately, durrrr loses a 30k buyin to isildur1. Then within 5 minutes durrrr would double up. Durrrr would felt readyforwwar3. Durrrr would then continue to dominate the $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha table and force the table to practice avoidance and leave. Durrrr would end up with almost all the money that was on the table before he sat including Isildur1’s $300k stack. It would seem Durrrr was his old self again.

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 on 6 heads up screens

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 and Tom Dwan aka Durrrr would then face each other on 2 $500 / $1000 Pot Limit Omaha tables at once, and Isildur1 would also play Patrik Antonius on 4 screens of $500 / $1000 Pot Limit Omaha heads up tables as well. Durrrr would seem to almost play scared in the $500 / $1000 heads up rooms. Durrrr seemed to be in his comfort zone 6 handed or 4 handed $300 $600, but he would soon start giving back all the chips that he just won from Isildur1.

In my humble poker opinion, I think durrrr needs to seriously
sit back and think about his strategy VS Isildur1. I don’t think he is going to win his money back playing a loose style
VS Viktor. I seldom believe in using small ball technique, but I think this would be extremely effective against the aggressive tendencies of Isilidur1. But then again, Phil Ivey is winning VS Isildur1, and hes not using small ball… Or perhaps Durrrr should retreat from $500 / $1000 pot limit Omaha and build up his bankroll again by playing other players in $300 / $600 NL Holdem short handed.

Durrrr stats

Patrik Antonius would take a beating from Isildur1 as well, dropping nearly 2 million to him in a couple of days.

Brian Townsend aka sbrugby would be the next Full Tilt Poker red pro to take on Isildur1. Brian would win $1.1 million from Isildur1 and leave to Isildur1’s dismay.

So far Viktor Blom is down to Phil Ivey, Ilari Sahamies, Brian Townsend, and Patrik Antonius.

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 would continue to take a shot at the best poker player in the world. This time; he would have an advantage over Ivey by playing him on three screens at once. Ivey doesn’t like to play poker heads up on more than 2 at once.

Set over Set

Viktor fades the Ace and the heart

Phil was obviously uncomfortable on 3 screens and even stated it was making him dizzy.

Phil Ivey: head is dizzy
Phil Ivey: only going to play 2 for a bit
Isildur1: ok

Dealer: Isildur1 shows two pair, Jacks and Sixes
Dealer: Isildur1 wins the pot ($278,995.50) with two pair, Jacks and Sixes

Phil Ivey: another 10 min 3 screen break lol
System: The $2,000 Guarantee ($24+$2 Stud H/L) will be starting in 5 minutes.
Isildur1: ok hehe

Isildur1 would go on to win the second biggest pot in online poker history. Viktor Blom wins $1.2 million pot.

Isildur1: i am to tired to play only 2 tables
Isildur1: sry
Isildur1: i go to sleep else
Phil Ivey: have a goodnight

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 would end up getting the best Ivey, taking over 1.5 million from him!
So Viktor has to clear pick his battles, he can’t beat Patrik Antonius , Tom Dawn aka durrrr, and Phil Ivey all at the same time. It does seem, that he has a chance if he plays each one individually.
