Oh how high stake cash games have changed since the unknown Swede, Isildur1, came on to the scene. Isildur1 has become a household poker name in very short time. This time Isildur1 battled one on one against Brian Hastings, in his usual $500/$1,000 pot limit Omaha. It was worst beating since Isildur1 showed up at the poker table. Brian Hastings reportedly won over $3.2 million in the 5 hour session the two played. Are you serious, Clark? Hastings delivered Isildur1 a major loss which was worse than any other player Isildur1 faced. I can't even win a race in a $24+2 tournament. Anyone else think Cedar Point's next roller coaster should be called Isildur1?
