Isildur1 had a fantastic winning streak at PokerStars nosebleed tables last week. However, like many times before, it didn't take long before a large chunk of the winnings ended up in other players hands. It all started with the session against Ilari Sahamies when he took home just about $1 million. On Sunday night, Blom started losing and ended up $300,000 minus for the day.

As I said earlier in previous news - they play very high variance poker so it's not something odd that he can win $1M in one day an then lose it in 3 days

The way that these high stakes guys play, they seem to have several articles a week. Prediction for next week's articles: Isildur1 will have at least two downswings and one upswing, some high stakes poker degen will be whining about how much they have tied up on Full Tilt, while another is reported to be nearly broke. Hard to relate to these guys. I think if I won $1 million I would do like xblink, cash out and start over at the bottom again.

The funny thing is that Ilari said on his blog after he lost his million that he is in some way happy because the money went to Isildur and not to other regs, but it seems it went that way after all...
Pot limit omaha has a huge variance so it's pretty normal to see this huge swings at this limits, as you know they often go all in with just a draw after they see the flop.
One thing is sure, the plo action is sick on pokerstars nowadays

The good news Supernoob is that Ilari Sahamies already started to get back some of that million he lost in a single session, today poker tracking sites show that he won around 400.000 dollars...
Yesterday he was up with 75k, so if we do the math i think he almost got back half of the amount he lost to isildur1 in the weekend.
Still, this means nothing if you consider his style of play
Ouch, this guy has the biggest downswings in poker I think! He is good but his Maniac image makes it hard for him to bluff and when he has it he gets no credit from other players. With that kind of image, you definetly need to hit some cards!
