OMGClayAiken and Durrrr Extinguish Isildur1’s Hotstreak

By Patrick Wallace - March 11th, 2010

NosediveIsildur1 reaffirmed his regal status as ‘King of the Swings’ in Wednesday’s action on Fulltilt when he reclaimed his PTR top hat badge and plunged back into the red on the same day! He logged 9,852 hands over a 20 hour period where he took Zeejustin for over $500k at the NLH tables and Cole South for $558k at the PLO tables before dropping just over $1m to Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan and suffering a devastating $1.87m defeat at the hands of Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond which left Isildur1 $1.25m in the red.

Durrrr retrieved his nice 7 figure sum from Isildur1 in just 888 hands of $300/$600 PLO.

Durrrr landed a big pot when he flopped top two pair and had a pot-sized bet called by Isildur1 who was holding just middle pair. Isildur1 may have been planning something fancy on the turn but ended up catching a smaller two pair and check-raising all in. The river drew blank sending durrrr the $302k pot.

Durrrr hit the money card on the turn when it filled his gut shot straight whilst giving Isildur1 a set. Isildur1 check-raised all in and durrrr retained the nut straight on the river to win a $293k pot.

Isildur1 spiked a lucky turn which improved his dominated trips to a full house and left durrrr’s trips trailing badly. Isildur1 called all in and his full house held up to take down a $157k pot.

Isildur1’s game with Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond had been on the cards for a few days and Phil’s patience paid off big time when his turn came around on Wednesday night as they played over 4,200 hands of $300/$600 and $500/$1000 PLO, finishing the session with a whopping $1.87m win and resetting his ‘best day’ recorded online. 6 tabling online poker’s 2nd biggest winner of all time since first records began in it’s self could be viewed as a bit of a challenge so Isildur1 made sure he warmed up sufficiently beforehand with 12.5 hours of play against Fulltilt’s top pros.

Isildur1 got lucky in the largest pot of the session when he called all in on the flop with middle pair and a gut shot straight draw against Phil’s top pair top kicker with the nut straight-flush draw. Isildur1 hit a miracle as he caught his straight and avoided a flush or full house card on the river to take down a $416k pot.

Isildur1 wound up in bad shape on the turn when he called all in with a live flush draw and dominated straight draw against Phil’s made straight. Isildur1 missed his flush on the river sending Phil a $393k pot.

Isildur1 picked a bad time to bluff when he reraised all in on the river with top pair top kicker against Phil’s 2nd nut flush. Isildur1 tried to take advantage of the paired board and the fact he was holding the ace flush card, but by this time in the match, the hand had ’steaming’ written all over it and Phil made the call to win the $390k pot.

After Isildur1 lost a few big pots to Phil, it looked like the long hours got to his game as time after time he kept showing up with the 2nd best hand in huge pots. Hopefully Isildur1 can bring his A-game back to the virtual felt when he resumes play and reignite one of his patented hot streaks that have captivated Fulltilt’s railers since his first appearance at the nosebleed tables.

    This gyu is a sicko, I would say that his A game is pretty much on the same level as the other top pros but he didn’t stop when he’s tilting. that’s his problem

  12. Ozzygoose avatar Ozzygoose says:

    umm how do u say it???…..TILT. The guys is definetly not amateur has a ton of skill and will be staying around once he realizes he has to shorten his sessions.

  13. Lobben1 avatar Lobben1 says:

    Isildur is not an amatur, he is a top pro.. but the thing is that he dosent care about the money -.- only time ive seen he cared was when he lost 4 mill to Hastings (who can blame him on that one)

  14. DukeMuckEm avatar DukeMuckEm says:

    as long as isi can’t handle his monkey tilt, he’ll swing till he’s broke

  15. turbojenks avatar turbojenks says:

    the reason he not str8 back online is he knows he tilted and gave most of it away… prob brought back memories of hastings, if he eliminates the tilt and shortens the sessions when he starts throwing it away, he will be back up there in no time, its down to him really, this will put the mark on him being a long term respected high stakes pro. I guess this guy is still quite young, in his reaction to getting beat.

  16. turbojenks avatar turbojenks says:

    oh and Thois, Durrr is still -$4.6Mil to Isil on here and I know that figure has missed a $350k session I watched ISIL win. you will find durrr has a lot of respect for any1 who can drop him 5 Mil.

  17. APBTMarcel avatar APBTMarcel says:

    kwas_1 you are an idiot and ignorant. You don’t have to be a pro to play with the pros. A lot of the nosebleed money comes from wealthy amateurs. KTHXBYE nubcakes.

  18. KoldShadow avatar KoldShadow says:

    These guys are all beasts, especially Phil Galfond. Poker Juggernauts in this piece!

  19. ukaliks avatar ukaliks says:

    Phil galfond is the PLO king.

  20. 110percent avatar 110percent says:

    Very nice to see Durrrr and OMG on their game. Hopefully Cole turns it around soon.
