Last weekend Atlantic city saw the biggest bad beat jackpot of all-time when Steven Gedney from Dover, New Jersey hit the jackpot for $553,958.00!!!. Gedney was the lucky loser in the hand with his quad 3’s and walked away with half the Jackpot, $276k
His opponent Chris Dobrzanski took the pot of $400 not to mention one quarter of the Jackpot ($138,489). The other 7 players in the hand shared the rest of the spoils for $19,748 each, so there were nine very happy men at that poker table.
Isildur1’s most recent interview with Pokernews.com, the Swedish pro talked about his adventure into the high stakes games on Full Tilt Poker and what he thinks of some of his opponents.
“I usually lose at first, but I always come back,” he says to Pokernews.com. “I learn so much playing, that I feel like I will win in the long run. I think it was really good playing durrrr as he does so many good things and I learned a lot from him. It’s OK, even though I lost so much money. I was really down for a while, but it was not a big problem.”
Last night Patrik Antonius got even with Isildur1 on Full Tilt poker.The two high stakes whales grinded it out for just over 900 hands playing 300/600 PLO deep stack. In that time period Patrik walked away up 1.088 MILLION dollars.
So who is this young Swede who’s been dominating the shit out of Full Tilt poker this past month raking in MILLIONS??? Well.. according to Tony G the young gun from Sweeden *Isildur1* is poker professional Viktor Blom.
“I can reveal to all it is Viktor (Blom) and he crushed them on the iPoker network for some time,” Tony went on to say.
Viktor Blom is Isildur1
Viktor Blom is alleged to have deposited $2000.00 and ran it up to $1.5 million in 2 weeks with his hyper aggressive style.
Well it’s finally been done!! Last night Patrik Antonius became the 1st online player to take down a pot of over 1 MILLION dollars.The battle between Antonius and online’s newest- unknown superstar Isildur1heated up with some HUGE action on Full Tilt poker.
