Isildur1 Goes Bust?

Isildur1, the mystery Swede, has taken his fair share of ups and downs during the past month. But it has undoubtedly been one of the most epic runs anybody has ever seen. This dark horse has literally appeared out of nowhere and started wreaking havoc at the Full Tilt Poker high stakes tables. But even with his high profile bets, nobody knows who he is or what he does. And yet, he has faced some of the toughest opponents, Dwan and Sahamies among others, and came out on top. He did not fare well against Patrik Antonius though. And it seems like he did not do well against poker legend, Phil Ivey either. He took a savage beating from both pros earlier this week, a beating that left people speculating whether or not he will finally go “busto”.

The Run of a Lifetime

Just a few days ago, many people were hailing Isildur1 as one of the biggest gainers for this year. His rise went up to a whole 6 million ever since he came out on the high stakes tables. He got most of this amount from Tom “durrrr” Dwan, taking almost 2 million from the said player. However, he also lost a similar amount to Patrik Antonius in a series of battles, even losing the biggest online pot ever recorded to the said player. Antonius further shaved a costly amount from Isildur1’s bank account in the following days. Indeed, Antonius seemed to be the kryptonite to Isildur1’s superman. And it seems that adding Phil Ivey to the mix was enough to cripple the dark horse. Not being the type to back out of a game, Isildur1 was known to be one of the hardy players. After losing $3.3 million in a series of $500/$1000 PLO in six different tables with Ivey and Antonius, however, Isildur1 was keen to call it quits.

A Rapid Decline

The game started out quite normally. They were, in fact, just playing to pass the time as they played in a separate tournament. Nobody would have guessed that it was in that session that the largest online pot ever recorded – a whopping $1.35 million – would be born. Incidentally, it was again Antonius who took the honor of swooping up this monster pot and it was Isildur1 who offered it up. All in all, Antonius took $2.1 million from Isildur1. Phil Ivey’s earnings were not too shabby either, as he raked in $1.2 million from the said player. Isildur1 managed to win 2 of the 5 largest pots, but even these could hardly cushion his fall. In the end, Isildur1 had to concede defeat and say that he was done for a while. His six million had dwindled down to only 6-figures, a huge blow to the mystery player. Now, everyone is saying that the moment has finally come, the moment where Isildur1 goes bust. But whether that’s true or not is yet to be determined.
