LarsLuzak Snatches Two Million Dollars In Three Days

LarsLuzak redeems his losses by gaining over two million dollars in profits in just three days. Victims to his current hot streak include well-known players like Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies (-$843k), Patrik Antonius (-$606k) and Phil Ivey (-$372k).

Things didn't start all too well for Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro in 2009, as he lost an estimated $825k in January. His swing to the bottom continued in the first 11 days of February, when he lost over a million dollars. From that point onwards, LarsLuzak has managed to turn the tides of poker in his favour: first, he won $1.55 million in 48h on Full Tilt Poker, only to add another $466,000 the following day.

Most of his profits came from Patrik Antonius and Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies, along with Phil Ivey and Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond, who have recently lost to him in both NLHE and MIX HA.

First in the row of big pots LarsLuzak claimed was worth $364,000, when his
flush on the river proved fatal for Ziigmund's top pair of kings with
jack kicker. The bad story for Ziigmund repeated itself in another $256,000 pot where LarsLuzak hit a set of tens on the flop, opposed to Ziigmund's set of nines.

Patrik Antonius joined the line and lost a $337,000 pot to LarsLuzak, as his pocket tens got no help on the board against his opponent's pocket kings. The following victim was Phil Ivey, who first lost a $359,000 pot when he made a smaller straight and afterwards losing a $184,000 pot with pocket kings against Larsluzak's pocket aces.

These are just some of the biggest pots LarsLuzak claimed in the past few days, should his streak continue it will surely cast a shadow over his bad opening of the year.
