High Stakes Action: Ziigmund Steamrolls Isildur1 in 600 Hands
Isildur1 was dominating the high stakes tables yesterday with most of his $2.5 million profit coming from Patrik Antonius. However, once Ziigmund joined the action, a huge portion of that profit was gone in a mere 600 hands.

Railbirds on Full Tilt Poker have probably lost count by now of all the ups and downs Isildur1 had in the several weeks.
After losing $1.1 million to Brian Townsend recently, Isildur1 returned for more high stakes action yesterday. Amongst others, he played against Patrik Antonius, Tom "durrrr" Dwan and later on against Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies.
600 hands for a $1.5 million profit
According to Highstakesdb, while Isildur1 spent the first half of the day close to break-even, the second half brought an entirely different story. He dominated Antonius in PLO and combined with his winnings against durrrr and others, he was up by $2.5 million in no time.
However, while Antonius suffered a $1.8 million loss for the day, his close friend Ziigmund (pictured right) stepped up to take on the unknown Swede. It took him just 600 hands to win $1.5 million against Isildur1, thus cutting his winnings down to a "mere" $957k.
