Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies massacred Cole South and Brian Hastings in the high-stakes online cash games last night. In a three-hour span, Sahamies recorded nearly 1,000 hands of heads-up $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha against the two. South, likely still stinging from a $700k loss to Ziigmund last week, ended up losing $602k to the swingy Finn. The loss erases all of his profits this year putting him down over $800k. Hastings didn’t do much better, although his $187k loss over 600 hands seemed less significant. It appears Sahamies has recovered nicely from an awful August, earning nearly $1 million in September so  [ Read More ]

Although Tom “durrrr” Dwan was one of the biggest losers in September, he has drastically reversed his fortunes so far in October. The 24-year-old Dwan sustained blows from multiple high-stakes foes last month. However, the downswing was largely due to falling behind almost $700,000 in the Durrrr Challenge with Dan “Jungleman12” Cates. While Dwan and Cates resumed their battle this past week after a short break, with Dwan chipping away not much more than $1,000 into his deficit on Sunday and erasing an additional $31,778 last night, it was Dwan’s session with Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies this past week that put  [ Read More ]
