Last week one could read on Ilari Sahamies blog that things are not going his way at the moment. For example he complained a lot about himself being unlucky, but also that he played very bad. All this because he lost 1.4 million dollars (400k of them coin flips) in two hours against Phil Ivey. After this huge loss he wrote the following in the poker chat about his scheduled trip to London to play [...] Read more » High Stakes: Ilari Sahamies in a very bad mood
He should take a break from playing high stakes like Gus did, and get back to the right mood to crush Ivey or not? we'll see if he'll do well in London... if not I also recommend him to jump from the balcony

poker has its ups and downs, don't think anyone can survive long on highstakes who can't take the downswings. btw have to agree 1.4 mil in 2 hrs is too much of a loss

Coinflip? This pro guys come to a point in their lifes that just dont know what to do to get some thrill trying something different... loosing $400K playing coinflip is just too much, its something above my imagination, and i have already seen people loosing much doing crazy stuff... Sahamies should take some vacation, enjoying some of his winnings with "not-playing" moments, relax...

wow he sounds really pissed off.. He needs to chill a bit .l sounds to me as thou hes not used to having his arse handed to him on a plate.. you have to be a good looser as well as a good winner.
we'll see if he'll do well in London... if not I also recommend him to jump from the balcony
