Antonius wins $1.3 million pot from Isildur1!
Earlier this week we reported that Patrik Antonius had won the largest pot in internet poker history, but last night he smashed that record and took down an astonishing $1.3 million pot – from Isildur1!
Isildur1 has astonished the internet poker community in the past few weeks by taking on the best high stakes poker players in the world and having a profit of $6 million in juat one month. However the Swede has had a terrible few days at the high stake tables and last night he found himself left with only a $750k profit for the year and lost $1.3 million in just one pot!
The record pot won by Antonius was $878,958.50, but last night’s crazy action saw 5 pf the 6 largest pots in internet poker history.
Isildur1 began the $1.3 million pot with 9

4 2. Antonius bet $91,000 then Isildur1 bet the pot for $435,000. Antonius then made it $779,000 which covered Isildur1 who made the call. There was now $1,356,947 in the pot creating history with two more cards to be revealed. The turn came 5 and the river 9 leaving Isildur1 to watch the chips be passed to Patrik Antonius to make history in the second time in just one week.
Their sensational session ended with Antonius up $2.1 million after playing 4,470-hands of PLO. Antonius wasn’t Isildur1’s only opponent however. The Swede took on Phil Ivey losing yet another $1.3 million by playing PLO and NLHE after swapping several $800k+ pots.
Only last week Isildur1 was being regarded as one of the best and no-one had ever taken the high stakes games by storm. He was up $6 million with $3 million of that coming from Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan alone. Now with only a $750k profit at Full Tilt Poker it seems Isildur1’s days at the highest stakes in internet poker are over. Another Martonas who just couldn’t handle the best it seems?!
