Patpatman Heats Up vs Ilari Fin, Ville Wahlbeck
Newcomers to the highstakes online poker scene are always fun to watch, and yesterday seemed to be the coming out party for patpatman.
Playing primarily $100/$200 6-max PLO and $50/$100 6-max PLO, patpatman has seen his overall earnings eclipse the $500k mark since arriving on PokerStars just a month ago (where he also won the biggest hold'em pot in January). Yesterday's sessions yielded some great results for the newcomer, highlighted by these six figure pots:
- Patpatman rivers quads as his As-Kc-3d-Ad holds vs. Ilari Fin and Ville Wahlbeck
- Patpatman flops a set, and turns quads this time to get 3 streets of value.
- All it takes is two pair as patpatman gets some more off of Ilari Sahamies.
- LuckyGump flops a set to crack aces and turns a boat to fade the flush draw.
- Heads up with Ilari FIN, patpatman flops two pair and cracks aces for another big pot
After all was said, the big winner was patpatman who ended this session +$298,968.45, but ended up negative on another session to end the evening up $166k on the night. Alexey 'LuckyGump' Makarov also had a good evening, finishing out his long grind with a net win of $157k.
As for the big losses, Finnish highstakes pro Ilari 'Ilari FIN' Sahamies shook off the big pot losses to net just an $83k loss overall. Fellow Finn, 2009 WSOP $10k Mixed bracelet winner and PokerStars Team Pro Ville Wahlbeck wasn't as fortunate, hanging them up after booking a loss of $671k.
But all eyes will be on patpatman in the future and what the next session might look like.
