When we left off Isildur1 had just returned to destroying the top names in online poker including Tom “Durrrr” Dwan yet again. Dwan he lost over five million to the unknown Swedish online pro was itching to get some of that loose change back instead he took another quarter of a million hit to his bankroll. The action stopped when Isildur1 wanted to switch over No Limit Hold’Em and a testy exchange between the two took place:
Isildur1: lets just play 6 tables 3 6 nl instead ?
durrrr: lol
durrrr: ur too annoying to deal with
durrrr: play for hours then the second u get up u want new game
durrrr: thats ridic
Isildur1: lol, like i just to quit playing
Isildur1: wtf
Isildur1: i play plo with u all even tho i dont want
durrrr: i wanna play here obv
Isildur1: i been waiting for u at nl and u say u comming but never show up
durrrr: its obv terrible timing right after u win 250k pot
Isildur1: thats annoying

durrrr: but had 4 other games
durrrr: u hav too many rules w/e
Isildur1: ye ok

Isildur1: i need 5 mins then i know after
Isildur1: plo
durrrr: ok
Isildur1: would rather play nl but gimme some time i have small stuff to do
durrrr: ok np
Then Isildur1 did what he does second best and disappeared. Unlike the previous interaction with ZeeJustin where he claimed to be tired than mixed it up for another long session, Isildur1 really did disconnect from the online poker site. So in one of the most eagerly awaited “rematches” in recent memories from a high stakes online poker game Dwan got a taste of the same medicine Isildur1 served up last year. For once it was Dwan that was getting taken to poker school and not his opponent.
Then Isildur1 got the rematch he was hungry for when he got to mix it up with Brian Hastings again. You’ll remember Hastings was the player that snapped off Isildur1′s heater and took all the winnings Isildur1 took from Dwan (and others). This go round the score was reversed.
Hastings was the one hating life. His bankroll got relieved of over $500k. The biggest pot was for $274k. Hastings screen showed him KKQ9 and Isildur1′s j1098. The flop gave Hastings three pair with Q93. The turn brought a brick 5. The river was dynamite for Isildur1 as a King gave him a straight to take down the huge pot.
Then things turned a bit for the online phenom. ZeeJustin got to try and win back some of the money he lost to the Swede and this time things went a lot better for Justin Bonomo. Playing No Limit Hold’em with blinds of $100/$200 Bonomo was able to grind back half his losses winning a quarter million (he lost half a million the day before to Isildur1).
Then things went from bad to worse. Brian Townsend who allegedly data mined Isildur1 the last go round and fed the information to Brian Hastings got to sample some of Isildur1′s run bad. In an up and down match on the $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha tables Townsend built up a 500k lead, Isildur1 won it all back and took a lead, and then Townsend got it all back and more. When the session wrapped Townsend had made an almost 660k profit off the Swede.
Things will continue to stay heated. We’ll have our next update after the next twist, turn, flop, and bad beat.
