Brian Hastings had a monster session over Isidur1 taking $4.2 million from him in a single session. After a string of subsequent losses, Isildur1 retreated from the tables for a short time. He has since returned, newly energized from his hiatus, to take control of the tables again. However, he faced a crushing blow earlier this week.

The day began with Isildur1 and Col South going head to head in a $200/$400 PLO match. South proceeded to dump $240,779 to Isildur1 before upping the stakes to $300/$600 PLO. This only proved to exasperate South’s losing streak, as he lost another $401,733 over the course of 566 hands.

Brian Hastings made a move to jump in on the $300/$600 PLO game and started with a $250,000 loss. The stakes got deeper as Hastings sought to recover his losses in the $500/$1,000 game. Hastings dropped another $581,954 before throwing in the towel.

Then Isildur1 brought his fury against Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo in $200/$400 NL Hold’em. Bonomo lost over $100,000 before looking for better options. It seemed as though Isildur1 couldn’t be stopped, but all good things must come to an end.

Isildur1’s upswing took a minor dive. It began when he lost $30k to skjervoy in $100/$200 PLO. Then he lost another $350k back to South, but he was able to retain a major profit for the day. In total, he ended up with over $1.5 million. That’s not bad for a day’s worth of work!
