Isildur1 Wins $2.6 Million from Durrrr

It’s been about three weeks since Isildur1 appeared and wreaked havoc on the poker world with his outrageous high-stakes bets. He has lost some and won some – but no matter what the actual stats are, it’s obvious that he’s a force to be reckoned with. And it seems that Isildur1, who remains anonymous up to date, is at it again. This time, he faced off against the legendary Tom “Durrrr” Dwan, one of the most feared online players in the Poker World today. And surprise, surprise! Isildur1 managed to snatch $2.6 Million from Dwan in a series of heads-up matches!

A Series of Unfortunate Events for Durrrr

It is no secret that Tom Dwan has been down in the dumps for these past few weeks. He has been losing millions over millions, shaving off a considerable amount of money from his net worth. The last few days have arguably been the worst for Dwan, as he lost over $2.6 million to the mystery player, Isildur1. Dwan played over 19,000 hands with Isildur1 in just two days – an irony, considering that it took him and Antonius months to reach that number. It seems, however, that Dwan will be helping the poker world reveal the identity of Isildur1, as he has issued a challenge to the said dark horse, inviting him to join the upcoming Full Tilt Poker “durrrr” Million Dollar Challenge – the live version of the durrrr challenge which will be held in London. Of course, it’s not yet certain whether or not Isildur1 will accept. But if he does, we finally get to know who he is.

A Lucky Pot of Gold for Isildur1

When Isildur1 first appeared, he was seesawing between winning and losing, even getting tossed around by some of the pros. He was down 1 million, and many were ambivalent about his actual talents. Still, the fact that he was lounging around in the high-stakes tables made him one to watch. Then, his luck turned around. In a very exciting heads-up match, five/six table no-limit hold’em and pot limit Omaha specifically, between Durrrr and Isildur1 that occurred during the wee hours of the morning, Durrrr lost about $1.22 Million. Not one to take defeat lying down, Durrrr once again played with Isildur1 in a 12,000 hand marathon session (now, if only him and Antonius would sit down and do something similar, eh?). But again, Isildur1 sent him packing, earning another $616,000 from the Full-Tilt Pro. Persistent as ever, Dwan came back for another session, and this time, he lost the third largest pot in the history of online poker – a whopping $694,953. If poker were a battle, Dwan would be bloody and battered, so it was such a surprise that he got up and challenged Isildur1 again. But alas, he was not to recover his winnings, and he quickly lost $705,000 to the dark horse. It was a tragic loss for Durrrr, but a very wonderful run for Isildur1.
