After saying goodbye to the majority of his profits from the last month, some speculated that Isildur1 might quit Patrik Antonius, or at least settle for a break in the action. Instead, the unknown player from Sweden picked right back up where he left off and challenged the Full Tilt Poker pro to some more high-stakes $500-$1,000 pot-limit Omaha.

But first, Isildur1 went back to his bread and butter, which has been beating Tom “durrrr” Dwan at no-limit hold’em. After picking up a $655,000 win there, Isildur1 went on to face another adversary in Phil Ivey.
During the PLO match with Ivey, Isildur1 won his very first million-dollar pot, though it would not make up for the record-setting hand he lost to Antonius earlier in the week. It’s a good thing that the $1.1 million pot went Isildur1’s way, because it ended up determining the entire session, as he finished up $793,000 on Ivey overall.
With those two out of the way, Isildur1 decided to focus on Antonius, who has been by far the biggest thorn in his side throughout these challenges. It ended up being one of the swingiest matches of the year, as each player took turns being up or down seven figures at a time.
Isildur1 was up $1.7 million at one point, only to see Antonius fight back and claim a small lead of his own. When all was said and done, Isildur1 finished with a $696,000 profit over the course of nearly 5,100 hands. Those three matches have him back to about $2.5 million in profit over the last five weeks.
