Isildur1 and Antonius light up Full Tilt
It took over 5,000 hands and a 12-hour session, but Isildur1 left Full Tilt's tables with almost $700k of Patrik Antonius' money last night.
Although no pot-size records were broken in this session, the two played 18 pots worth at least $400k and five worth over $500,000.
Unlike the past few nights, Isildur1 and Antonius played exclusively $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, rather than playing half Omaha, half Hold'em.
The largest pot of the session came in at just under $555k. Isildur1 took control after completing his wrap straight draw on the turn, with the same card giving Antonius top two pair.
After a couple of raises, the money went all in with Antonius drawing slim. The river was a blank, shipping the pot to Isildur1 with his nut straight.
The entire session was somewhat of an uphill battle for Antonius after he lost close to $1.6 million in the first 45 minutes. It took him the remainder to try and battle back.
After 5,028 hands spread across 12 hours and 38 minutes, Isildur1 left the tables with a $679k win, putting him back up to $1.2 million in profits on the year.

2009-11-25I was railing this and Patrick really did look to be struggling. Perhaps Isildur finally has PA figured out....PA was buying in for smaller and smaller amounts...for long periods of time he'd play with as little at $20K at a table where Isildur would have over a million $

2009-11-25i think that all this action on full tilt in the last months its just a publicity strategy

2009-11-25hey toni, no publicity stunt my friend. Full Tilt has ALWAYS had the highest High Stakes Cash games on the internet. And far as a stunt, Patrik Antonious has been winning on FT for a couple years and has built a big and is considered one of the best online PLO players. Why wouldnt he want to play isildur all the time when he knows he has the edge? Once Isildur1 name comes out everything will makew sense. He is rumored to be a player who was making a big splash on european poker sites and decided to try his luck on the American site. He started off with a bang vs durrrr and has top skills himself with a complete lack of fear at the tables. I've seen him a number of times get his whole stack in on the turn with just a flush or straight draw and hit it most of the time. Why would a very profitable poker site risk credability on a publicity stunt like this? Ever watch what the rake is on some of those huge pots? Not that much considering. After a few more months we won't even here of isildur and PA will still be ruling the PLO tables. Isildur after peaking at over 5 million is already down to 1.3 million.

2009-11-25Great job isildur, Patrik showed who he really is in that game when he denied changing a game to NL holdem, what isildur wanted, explaining it he is "biggest loser at PLO on FTP ever", and that was when isi was 1.5 mil
up. Isi was really pissed at that moment, saying he already gave him 2.5 mills before
couple of days. He left but came back, because probably he needs to play every night at couldn't find the game anywhere.
Isi is giving this ppl too much edge, and still he can crush them.
gooooooo isildur

2009-11-25Isildur is not crushing like he was, luck is being cancelled out and there will only be one winner, Antonious. Unless they play Holdem for long enough, and even then I back Antonious in the long term.

2009-11-25its true

2009-11-25Indeed they were actually chatting and PA wouldn't switch...
Isildur was saying something to the means of how PA only 3 bets strong stones or something...
Then Isildur had some more to say to PA but he was in room not sitting down and in those rooms players can't see rail chat
so PA couldn't see it.
