Ilari "Ziigmund"/"Ilari_FIN" Sahamies has done it again. This time, the Finnish poker pro attacked Anderas "Skjervoy" Torbergsen at PokerStars nosebleed tables. Ziigmund was playing heads-up with another player when "Skjervoy" wrote in the chat that he wanted to play heads-up. Ziigmund, who wasn't running so well at that point, found it so disturbing that he threatened to hit him and also told him[...] Read more » Ilari Sahamies to "Skjervoy": "kill yourself ugly nit"

On that level you really should be more careful about what you are writing, threatening over the intrnet probably counts like you were saying it face to face in court.
I hope he gets banned from the chat so he wont be embarrasing himself and the sport anymore ...

:/ lots of money involved, not surprising some of these guys stress out and say s**t like that.. I lose my s**t on the table and abuse people all the time (surprised I've never been chat-banned really). Obviously these guys should take more care with so many eyes on them; and most of the time they do..
But something like this really doesn't surprise me..

yesterday he won the biggest pot ever from from pokerstars, todays things werent that great and he just lets his bad spirit come outside... Poker pros are strange people. But in the end all went well by the conversation, he changed his tone but the message was the same. I bet that in a couple ou days we will be able to know news about some hu this two have done, you will see, this guys like to fight in and out of the tables, its all strategy!

its clear ilari is drunk and tilted, but still attack on skjervoy is not justifiable. maybe pokerstars needs to have high stakes HU tables to prevent this sort of drama in future.

You gotta like ilari after all lol, in his mind he has no respect for these type of players that are regulars on high stakes, like skjervoy or phil galfond...
As you know he is a really aggressive player so he likes a bit more madness on the table, for example someone like isildur
Haha, these guys take it so seriously! It's not even a game to them anymore
But still they are good players. And I'm surprised that Sahamies is scared to play against a nit... He should be able to adjust his game to any kind of player.

El poker es un deporte como cualquier otro, ( para mi el mejor del mundo ) jaja, tengamos en cuenta que roces y cruzadas ocurren en todos los deportes, lo significativo acá es que cuando uno toma demás las cosas las dice detrás de una computadora y no en persona! me parece una actitud con muy poca hombría, la rechazo rotundamente! Muchachos por favor!! Mantengamos el espíritu del poker!! TRANQUILIDAD, PACIENCIA y RESPETO!!

Still, this language is of course innapropiate...
I find the higher you go in stakes the more people get p*ssed off and losing their money, probably because it hurts that much more. At lower stakes players seem to realize it is the micros and people will sometimes call with garbage, hit and take down big pockets. Although I have seen people really flip out on $0.60 BI SNG! And yesterday at NL10 I was told "Fak you retard donkey", maybe with good reason too
