Unknown Poker Player Strikes Again

15th November, 2009

Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan may well be Full Tilt Poker's new darling of the online felt, but it is another poker player who is currently sweeping the boards, literally at one of the best uk poker sites.

The online poker player from Sweden, who goes by the name 'Isildur1' has grabbed the headlines over the last two weeks with some absolutely nosebleed cash wins, from some of the best online poker players in the world.

World Series of Poker finalist Phil Ivey has had the mis-pleasure of losing huge sums of cash, as has Patrik Antonius and PKR Poker's Phil Galfond - as well as being over $3m to the good against online poker genius Dwan.

And last night was no exception; having already wiped out Dwan, the Scandanavian actually managed to lose nearly $500k before hitting the PKR pro for over $150k.

Next up was Full Tilt sponsored Antonius, winning two massive hands - one well played ($384k); one very lucky ($448k) - for a nice profit of nearly $700k.

Next up was Ivey, who in comparison to some of his peers, managed to 'walk away' with only a $20k loss to the Swede.

And if that was not enough action, Patrik Antonius came back for more -  but only managed to win back a fraction of his earlier losses.

Mystery surrounds the online poker player, who until very recently was only playing in $5 tourneys online. His current run of form though ensured another $500k+ going into his already bulging coffers.
