Besides playing against Patrik Antonius, Isildur1 also had another interesting clash this weekend, the one against Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies.
According to Highstakesdb, the two started their marathon session on Sunday and with a few short breaks here and there, they carried on through Monday as well.
New high stakes rivalry is born
By Monday morning, Isildur1 was up by $1.3 million against Ziigmund, but the story behind that profit is perhaps even more interesting. At one point, Isildur1 was down by nearly $1.3 million and wasn't really pleased with the way Ziigmund started playing:
Isildur1: who s the little scared *** starts lipimg every hand cos hes up
Isildur1: *** clown
Ziigmund: how long u have been around here
Ziigmund: u r losing after this year if u continue ***
Isildur1: well see, u keep hit n rn me and limping
Ziigmund: haha
Ziigmund: nono
Ziigmund: joking
Ziigmund: u r nice guy
Ziigmund: and pretty viktor
Sweet taste of revenge
Isildur1 managed to work his way up after all, but their session was far from over. They played until Monday evening, as Ziigmund (pictured right) proved determined to try and take down the man who has been troubling pros on the nosebleed stakes for the past several weeks now.
