cadillac1944 on Full Tilt PokerCadillac1944 was at one point up more than $1 million this week, mostly thanks to taking Tom “durrrr” Dwan for nearly $750,000 Tuesday. However, on Wednesday, cadillac1944 gave most of the profits back.

Most of the losses occurred in a $500-$1,000 pot-limit Omaha session versus DrugsOrMe on Full Tilt Poker. The battle only lasted about 200 hands, but that was enough for cadillac1944 to drop about $600,000 to DrugsOrMe.

One of the biggest pots of the session occurred after both players flopped the nuts, but DrugsOrMe had a flush redraw.
