There have been some pretty epic heads-up, high stakes battles on Full Tilt Poker in the past.
Phil Ivey vs Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies. Tom “durrrr” Dwan vs “martonas”. The list goes on and on.
However, Sunday night’s battle between “isildur1″ and Tom “durrrr” Dwan outshined any of the previous battles by a mile.
Huge pots. Several million dollar swings. Incredibly aggressive play.
In total, Tom “durrrr” Dwan and “isildur1″ battled it out on Full Tilt Poker yesterday for nearly twelve hours. They mostly played No Limit Hold’em, but also decided to add a few hands of PLO right at the end of the session.
According to Dwan himself, “isildur1″ ended up winning about $1.3 million dollars.
About 2/3rds of this profit came in NLHE, while the rest came in PLO. Dwan ran incredibly bad in PLO, losing north of $400k in just over 100 hands.
At one point in the session, Dwan was down about $1.5 million dollars. He then staged an epic comeback, winning approximately $1 million dollars in a very short period of time.
The momentum shifted right at the end of the session though, as “isildur1″ surged back over the million dollar profit mark, ending the session as the big winner.
“isildur1″ then quit the game, vowing to return Monday for another tilt with “durrrr”.
