Brian Hastings would be the benefactor of the sickest session in online poker history. He would make $3,234,543.20 in just under 5 hours. This works out to $646,908.64 / hour and $1,261 per hand over 2565 hands. All the hands were in Pot Limit Omaha and were against Viktor Blom aka Isildur1, and played on 6 screens simultaneously. Isildur1 would be on major tilt, while at the same time running bad.

Brian Hastings unbelievable stats

Viktor Blom aka Isildur1 would be left with less than 600k in his account. He could have left with around a million but begged Brian to Stay:

Isildur1: ??????????
Dealer: Brian Hastings has 5 seconds left to act
Brian Hastings: getting very tired…
Dealer: Hand #16648979788 has been canceled

It could be that Brian Hastings was staked by Brian Townsend and Cole South, but that is just a guess. Or they may have pooled all their money together to take on the Swede. Regardless, It doesn’t look like Isildur1 will be able to play $500 1000 for quite some time. On the other hand, It looks like Brian Hastings will be shopping for a new ride and some threads in the next day or two. This will go down as one of the greatest heads up poker matches in the history of poker.
