About a week ago, it almost looked like the finnish poker pro Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies' losing streak had come to an end after a few winning sessions. However, it didn't take long before he started to lose big again. $311,000 is how much Ziigmund lost last week, which means that he has lost almost $1.7 million in October. One of the players who managed to win big against Ziigmund was harrington23[...] Read more » Ziigmund down almost $1,7m this month

I heard a long time ago that kid Harrington23 mentioned in the article once played John Robert-Bellande at the Bellagio in a HU game of $200-$400 PLO with a very special format - Harrington23 kept the button every round, and Bobby Bellande was dealt five cards instead of four every round! The sad part is Harrington cleaned Bobby out! sick

if you play at those limits like they do it should be easy to win or lose a large amount of money in a short period of time, but 1,7 million in one month ??? Come on, i dont know his bankroll, but that sounds really awful. Where is bankrollmanagement or self control. I mean if you or me donk away 50 or 100$ thats life but i would expect more from such pros.
What about taking a break for some days or just play lower levels?
For him it's like blowing away $17 with a $150 bankroll so it's nothing really serious... he'll win this amount back for sure as he plays very good omaha IMO...

even if your bankroll example is true, it is something else to win back 17$ or 1,7Million. You have to find people who are willing and have the bankroll to pay you off like that. and how long will he need just to get that kind of money back. Maybe im wrong...

lmao, he had a nice dig at him after taking his money . as for ziigmund, hes a crazy player tho most of the times hes losing. he needs to change his playing style if he wanna win tht money back.
I think that if he will continue this way, his girlfriend will leave him soon. Hope that she doesnt read these
