Isildur1, who was briefly the year’s top money earner, proved once again that he’s not afraid of a little action.
After taking nearly 0k off of Antonius two days ago, Isildur1 tried for a repeat performance, but ran out of run-good along the way.
The two players took their seats on four 0/,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tables on Full Tilt, starting the game anywhere from 200 to 400 BB deep.
The session lasted for almost nine hours, playing 2,092 hands across the four tables. Unfortunately for Isildur1, Antonius left all four PLO tables in the black with his gross profit totalling over .13 million.
For close to five hours in the middle of the session, the two also added a couple of 0/,000 No-Limit Hold’em tables into the mix.
Isildur1 suffered crushing defeat on these tables as well, losing another 5k to bring Antonius’s single-session profits up to a whopping .4 million.
This huge session not only saw the largest online pot ever played, worth 8,959, but it had six pots worth over 0k, and another six over 0k.
Last night’s results have dropped Isildur1 down to around million in total online profits for the year, while Antonius has busted his way back to the top of the profit list with over .3 million.
