Antonius Hot in Limit Hold'em vs. Kagome KagomeThe Duo Continue to Exchange Massive Blows |
|
Patrik Antonius and Kagome Kagome (formerly with the screen name IHateJuice) engaged in a nearly three-hour battle on the virtual felt Monday at their usual nosebleed stakes of $3,000-$6,000 limit hold’em on Full Tilt Poker. Antonius came out on top more than $400,000 and is in the black about $600,000 in the past week versus his mysterious German opponent.
Antonius and the 21-year-old limit hold’em specialist have been trading blows for months. It was just little more than a week ago when IHateJuice won nearly $300,000 from Antonius in a brief 70-hand session at $3,000-$6,000. Both players have endured $1 million swings in their sessions.
Despite confrontations between Antonius and Kagome Kagome at the highest stakes offered online, the largest pot of the past seven days was a 2,000-big-blind flip between unknowns BRAZZMONKEY and urubu111 at $50-$100 no-limit hold’em on PokerStars. The hand started with BRAZZMONKEY open shoving on the button for almost $100,000 with the K
8
. He was called by the 7
3 of his opponent. The board ran out 8 7 5 4 5, and the pair of eights held to win the $200,000 pot.
Other big winners from the past week include Scott “URnotINdanger2” Palmer ($250,000), Alexey “LuckyGump” Makarov ($240,000), Gus Hansen ($150,000), Ville “V. Wahlbeck” Wahlbeck ($140,000), and Jared “Harrington10” Bleznick ($135,000).
One of the major headlines of the past week in the high-stakes online world was the official announcement of Isildur1’s identity as 20-year-old Swede and Team PokerStars Pro Viktor Blom. Although it had long been speculated that it was Blom, the news ends more than a year of waiting for it to be confirmed.
