Tom Dwan and Isildur1 take heavy losses

February 21st, 2010

The last five days of action on Full Tilt Poker have seen some massive swings, especially for the two biggest names in online poker. Both Tom Dwan screen name durrrr and the Swedish assassin Viktor Blom screen name Isildur1 have been gambling it up on Full Tilt and both have posted some impressive stats, but not exactly where they wanted them posted, in the loss column.

Isildur1 made headlines on Monday as he posted wins of over $700,000. From about 10:30 in the morning until around 3:30 in the afternoon, Isildur1 had posted nearly a quarter Million in winnings. After taking a break for a few minutes, he then came back and ground it out for another three hours, but finished down just over $90,000. After taking another break, he returned to play through the evening and well past the witching hour as he posted sessions totaling over $630,000.

After his Tuesday and Wednesday sessions, the internet was buzzing as Isildur1 had posted nearly $900,000 in wins. Isildur1 should have probably taken an extended lunch break into Thursday as he wiped out nearly two days of wins in a mere three and one half hours. He dropped nearly a quarter of a million in heads-up NL to Zeejustin. Brian Townsend then schooled Isildur1 on some heads-up $300-$600 PLO, taking him for over $650,000.

7-Game was also unkind to the Swede. He proceeded to donate a good portion of his winnings back to his opponents in this discipline as well. After being up earlier in the week by over $1.5 Million, Isildur1 rounded out his week with a loss of $36,065. I don’t know about you, but I think that maybe Isildur1 should stay away from the Pot-Limit Omaha. It’s addictive like crack, and it drains his bankroll much the same way.

The last five days have not been any kinder to Tom Dwan, but Dwan’s woes were not softened by a cushion of cash. Dwan started off Monday on a bad foot, losing around $60,000. He mostly tread water on Tuesday until around 9 P.M. Tuesday night. ZeeJustin I think has figured out the formula. Tom Dwan + Isildur1 = Tom Dwan loses. Isildur1 + ZeeJustin = Takes money from Isildur1 he won off Tom Dwan. Therefore, ZeeJustin + Durrrr = More Profit for ZeeJustin. That pretty much sums up a 1,458 session between Dwan and ZeeJustin. ZeeJustin walked away with $360,000 of Dwan’s money.

Dwan should have went back to bed on Friday. He attempted to play a couple of session on $300 – $600 PLO. In seven hours time Dwan dropped $960,000. Tack on some additional losses at $200 – $400 capped PLO and Dwan finished down a cool $1 Million for the day. Luckily for Dwan, HORSE was his friend this week. Dwan was actually the top winner in HORSE for the week, taking down over $463,000. His HORSE wins and a few other smaller winning session alleviated some of Dwan’s pain, but still left him down $693,560 for the week.

As always, the action is as juicy as ever at the higher limits at Full Tilt Poker. Millions can be won or lost in a brief amount of time. What will the next week bring. Will durrrr rebound? Will Isildur1 actually post a winning week? Will Phil Ivey break out into a rendition of “La Bamba?” Only time will tell, but as always, it will be one helluva ride.
