I7AXA Finishes 2nd $148K in PS Sunday Million LAST week, loses it all THIS WEEK!

For those that have not read about this yet, in fact, player I7AXA finished 2nd Place in last weekends PS Sunday Million for $148K. He started playing 5K HU SNGs and got pummled until he had to drop to $30, $7 and then he was found playing FPPs even. Apparently he saved enough to play this weeks Sunday Million for a try at a repeat.

HA!

best. graph. ever.

Did he not just win 148K last week? Are you saying that he lost everything?

You 2 are just awful, but really I'm seriously asking this question are you saying he's broke already? Cuz if he is broke...I swear I'll never complain about a Bad Beat for at-least 1 month

nice to see other degents are alive an well

Watched that SunMill final table play out & tbh he seemed really awful.
Not surprised to see him dump all of it. (often the one-hit wonders seem to dump it on cash tables just after the big score).

I followed the thread on 2p2 while it was happening in real time. Crazy degen. Played hyper turbo HU SnGs. Started at the $200s and went up to $5Ks and then back down to the $7s and then back to the $500s. Then finished it off with playing some FPP sattys to the next Sunday mill. What a ride.

Apparently he said, in a Russian forum, that he doesnt care about the money. Obv.

This is him on the pokerstars school online page...I don't really understand it all but hell He's 1 dumb mother

Spare us the sanctimony, this guy is the reason the poker economy can exist. It's a negative sum game. Hope he ships it again on Sunday.

Good god, that is truly sickening.

How people can't appreciate such a win is beyond me, maybe he lives on the edge but hell...5k SnG's? Is he nuts? lol

What a shame.

Wow, that is kind of amusing.
He may not care about the money, but holy crap, that's quite a chunk to just donk off.

Wow, I could pay off everything (including the mortgage) with that!

Now this made me laugh hard :P

wish he would have played the PS micro cash tables. Then maybe I could have gotten some of the Sunday Mil.......

Sigh! I wish he could have donated to a worthy cause Like American Red cross. They are a great charity and do good things for ppl in times of need.

Classic example of someone getting lucky and thinking they are a good player.

Maybe he's there now?
Maybe the players he donated to are giving types who donate to charities?

ha, just walk away!!


probably not a good player, but even a bad player can go, hmmm, this isnt going well, let me hang on to a chunk of this, read a few books, play lower stakes and maybe learn how to translate these winnings into more winnings


or cash out and say, wow a once in a lifetime win


now could it be that he couldn't cash it out for some reason (age?)

Now there i a real thought.

I watched that final table. The HU specialists must have been desperate to play him.

Any chance you can link that 2P2 thread?

Any chance you can find it?

Found it, eventually. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...ement-1109018/

What does age have to do with anything though? I don't get asked my age when I cash out of Pokerstars? So exactly why even bring this up?

...because it's against TOS to play underage, and if for some reason they did find out you'd been playing underage they might be able to take your money? IIRC it's common practice for Stars to temporarily freeze the accounts of players who have a big tournament win to confirm identity or carry out more through than usual background checks.

While it's possible that was the case here, I actually doubt it. There have been plenty of discussions elsewhere about why this almost certainly wasn't chip-dumping (as in most of what he lost he lost to regs at the stakes he was playing, he went on some winning / break even streaks and the way he was playing simply didn't support the idea he was dumping).

^^^^I swear I never had a clue at all, I always figured it's the same as any cash out request, but thx for clearing this up...Well I could care less personally If I won 148K+ I'd be happy to show my Citizenship in a Milli Second, BTW I Do understand playing underage is against the TOS...Just didn't know about the security back ground checks

That just looks too suspicious. I think he chip dump the $$$$.

If you saw the sunday millions final table I don't think it would take you long to see why this doesn't look suspicious. He has played various opponents who are regs at the stakes he played. I saw him heads up in that final and it is absolutely no surprise he got destroyed at $5k heads up matches.

^^^^Ya H.U he just really sucked, over all he sucked TBH (But then again I've never made a final table of that magnitude myself, So I'm just hating)

I don't understand any of it. It's in Russian!

On cursory inspection sure, it might look like that. But there have been extensive discussions elsewhere about why it's highly unlikely to be what's happened in this case. Points that have been suggested (not by me) include:

- He lost to lots of different players, many of whom were known regs at the levels being played.
- The way specific hands / games were played is inconsistent with someone trying to dump chips.
- Same goes for the constant changes in stakes.
- I could be wrong (someone please correct me if I am) but it'd be both easier and cheaper (in terms of rake) to dump on a cash table if that was the goal. Instead, he played HU SnGs.

Ah Sry, I use the google translator to translate it into English

Just curious Oz, what could make a sane person do this? Blow that amount of money (Without being rich)? I don't believe the Chip dumping thing for the reasons you have pointed out, but what exactly is the reasoning behind this? I mean (Just think), you played 14+Hours to make this Final Table (Donked it hardcore on the FT), was Chip leader H.U and then Donked that....Took 2nd place for 148K and then does this right after-wards....Now I maybe mistaken but this doesn't seem like a sane person's attitude/thought process, or am I missing something here?

*shrugs*

I don't claim to have any better insight into this than anyone else - I guess there could be any number of explanations ranging from "I don't care about the money" to "I'm an insane degen".

It almost blows the mind that he won 2nd place and then just blows it. It would seem he chip dumped to someone, maybe he is one of these under aged bogus account people and he cant get the money anyways, who knows
