High stakes poker action took place Tuesday afternoon between two of the biggest Pot Limit Omaha players on Full Tilt Poker. Tom Dwan screen name ‘durrrr and Ilari Sahamies screen name ‘Ziigmund’ took place in one of the highest limit games allowed: $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha. To the surprise of none, some massive pots were played.

The first hand of the day saw Tom Dwan win a pot worth $18,000.

Dwan won this next pot with a bet on the turn, taking in another $18,000 pot.

Sahamies won the first big pot of the session, using aces up to take this $44,000 hand.

Sahamies won another big hand of $44,000, this time with a flush.

Dwan used a big bet of $23,000, to take down this pot worth $54,000.

Sahamies dodged Dwan’s straight draws in both draws here, winning a massive pot worth $280,000.

An even bigger pot followed. Dwan made a flush and a straight to win both runs of this huge hand worth a third of a million dollars.

Sahamies made a big bet of $40,000 to take down this $54,000 pot.

On the session, Dwan was up on Sahamies to the tune of $150,000, leaving the table with a little over $300,000. Tom Dwan has almost recovered all his 5m losses to Isildur1. He’s been silently creeping back to his all time peak of 9m.
