Justin BonomoIsildur1 finally got his wish and got some no-limit hold’em action, but after losing $903,000 Wednesday night, he may wish he never asked for it in the first place.

After winning $1.6 million in two days, Isildur1 dropped about $300,000 playing $100-$200 and $200-$400 no-limit hold’em. The biggest winner during that stretch was Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo (pictured right), who managed to pocket $408,000 overall, nearly erasing his loss from Monday.

After switching back to pot-limit Omaha, Isildur1 joined Brian Townsend at the $300-$600 tables. The two traded the lead for more than 600 hands before Townsend made his run.

In one of the biggest pots of the session, Townsend’s draw came through to give him all of the momentum in the match.

Townsend raised to $1,800, and Isildur1 reraised to $5,400. Towsend called, and the two saw a flop of KHeart Suit 6Diamond Suit 5Heart Suit.

Isildur1 continued with a bet of $7,800, and Townsend raised to $24,600. Isildur1 then reraised to $84,600, and Townsend called.

Brian TownsendThe turn was the 10Club Suit, and Isildur1 moved all in for his last $117,993. Townsend (pictured left) called and showed 9Heart Suit 8Spade Suit 7Diamond Suit 3Heart Suit for a straight and flush draw. Isildur1 showed AClub Suit QSpade Suit 6Spade Suit 6Club Suit for a set and gutshot-straight draw.

According to the CardPlayer.com Omaha Odds Calculator, Townsend was 42 percent to win the hand. The river was the 2Heart Suit, however, and Townsend made his flush, taking the $416,000 pot.

Townsend ended up $597,000 on the session, and Isildur1 saw one of his biggest losing days since the $4.2 million downswing he suffered in December.

I enjoy both online and brick and mortar poker and will never see the swings these players do and I believe that the majority of the poker community will not either. But this small minority of players showing these kind of dollar swings is just fueling the argument for the opponents of online poker. How can a person post these amounts of cash without causing concern for state and federal agencies. Just my humble opinion.

cameltoe, you are such a tool, how about you don't copy and paste the samething into every story you come across. You are also obviously a loser at poker, i doubt you even break even at your live casino

Guys lay off him, he's presenting such a well thought out, not laughable in any way argument, and with such a lot of evidence to back it up. Obviously he must be correct.

Thank you for the tip on those 4 sites I've never played on those, they must be new...........
