The unknown Swede, Isildur1 started showing up at the highest stakes at Full Tilt poker a few weeks ago. Since then he has won millions of dollars against some of the world's best poker players. Another player that has been doing very well is Patrik Antonius who has won over 5 million dollars this year. However, last night, Isildur1 and Antonius played PL Omaha against each other and wrote history as they created the biggest pot in the history of online poker.

Here is how the hand was played out:

Isildur1 has the small blind of $500, Antonius the big blind $1000. Isildur1 raise $3000 and Antonius calls.

Finally Isildur1 loosing...
Maybe after playing with "durrr" he was thinking he is almighty ... but there is much between "durrr" and Antonius.
Wish he loose more.

Antonius stops Isildur1 but pushing all and both have A and Q and Isildur 1 have strongest one so the rivered card again deal the winner and the looser but 4 Antonius pushing all in then u play Omaha is very unclever play but from the looser he become a winner so its only luck 4 him he dont do never it again i think so Smile only 1 big luck u can catch in your life

No. Most of the time they would have split the pot. Isildur could win with a K or J that is no heart (5 cards), Antonius would win with any 8 and any heart without the Queen (10 cards).

think youre missing something Antonius also has a flush draw giving him more outs, bit of a loose call for Isildur 1

I don't know why Isuldur said "this is a joke", Antonius was ahead on both the flop and the turn. He must not have seen Patrik's hand properly.

I agree with written above... Isuludur didn't read the Antonius hand good enough... Antonius had a lot of outs to win this, though he did play risky... i can understand Isuludur's disappointment but I guess Antonius also thought its about time Isuludur loses
 males17/11/2009 17:38:53 GMT
i just think antonious played it bad, and i trully understadn isuludur's dissapointment..damn, straight in the river

thats crazy amount of money to loose in one hand, major dent in anybodys bankroll
 Lutenatik17/11/2009 19:09:23 GMT
Wow strange way how they played that hand :x really really weird
 Btownd8717/11/2009 19:15:08 GMT
That seems very fishy to me.
That hand looks like the most perfect Set-Up hand you can get.
But then again, these high-stakes players often make just as many donk moves as the rest of us do.
 LaBaiz17/11/2009 19:30:56 GMT
omg, such crazy pot sizes, can't even believe that after this lost isildur1 is going to get back on his feet. But if money isn't a problem it's a different story Blink
 Anonymitylol17/11/2009 22:53:30 GMT
I couldn't even imagine going $100 in, let alone 460k... :|
 Plexo17/11/2009 23:54:37 GMT
Unbelievable, It's like to win the sunday million 1st prize four times. And it was in just a couple of seconds. Ufff.
