Ziigmund Returns to Nosebleed ActionWins Six Figures in a Tuesday Session |
|
After a few weeks off from the nosebleed stakes in the online world, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies is back playing six-figure pots. In late November the Finnish pro said he was taking a short break from the game.
On Tuesday, the high-stakes regular put in a two-hour session of $300-$600 pot-limit Omaha on Full Tilt Poker. Sahamies finished in the black $120,000 against the likes of DrugsOrMe, rumprammer, Jared “harrington25” Bleznick, Gus Hansen, and Di “Urindanger” Dang.
The largest pot of the session was a cooler that went Sahamies’ way. On a flop of A
Q
8, Sahamies held two aces versus the set of eights of Dang and the set of queens of rumprammer. Top set held versus both bottom sets, and Sahamies raked in the $136,277 pot.
Other winners from this past week include IHateJuice and Isaac “philivey2694” Haxton. On Sunday, Haxton competed in the first installment of the PokerStars SuperStar Showdown against high-stakes sensation and Team PokerStars Pro Isildur1.
Haxton finished up about $40,000 in the 2,500-hand contest, which consisted of four tables of $50-$100 no-limit hold’em.
With 1,000 hands to go in the battle, Isildur1 was in the black $31,099. However, it was at this point when Haxton began to make a comeback.
The largest pot of the session occurred at the tail end of the contest. Isiludr1’s J 9
was out kicked by the K 9 of Haxton, after both players flopped top pair. Haxton raked in the $44,000 pot after his opponent shoved on the river with the board reading 9
5 3 2 2.
“I want to play [Haxton] again, because I didn’t feel he was so good,” Isildur1 said in a PokerStars press release. “I dont think he deserved to win. [Haxton] is too passive and a weak player. He did get lucky. He ran too good, and I want re-match in a game for 5,000 hands. I would beat him easily. I am certain.”
