Some of you might have heard about this already and some may not. Here it is:
The place was Full Tilt. The table was "Royal Guard".
The players were Patrik Antonius and Isildur1. When the hand started both players were sitting with over $400,000.00. I know most of you play online with this amount of money most of the time so I'm sure you can all relate. Personally, I like to save that kind of money for dog race betting.
Without going into too much more detail than is necessary, by the turn, Patrik Antonius was all in and Isildur1 only had a little over $11k left over. When the cards flipped up, both players were tied with two pairs A's and Q's. Both had draws to break the tie with just the river remaining and who hasn't seen an exciting river card online before.
This hand and river was not to be an exception. An 8 came giving Patrik an inside straight and he scooped the pot for a grand total of $878,958.50. That should buy a few more shirts and hair cuts.
The action at Full Tilt, particularly in the PLO section seems to be getting fast and furious. Perhaps the arrival of Tom "Durr" Dwan has a little something to do with it. Surely, the future will have more stories to tell in the "millions". Keep in touch, there may be a new record any day now.
