The two went after each other with guns a blazin in the PL08 nose bleeds on FT.

In the largest pot played between Galfond (pictured) and Blom over the 2,000 hands, after a raising war pre-flop, the first three cards came 3-3-3. Galfond checked, Blom fired out a bet of $11,400, and Galfond called to create a $55,400 pot. The turn was the Kd, putting two diamonds out there, and Galfond once again checked. Blom continued to be the aggressor, pushing out a bet of $25,200, and Galfond raised to $63,900. Blom just called and the final card was the 5h.

On the river, Galfond, first to act, moved all-in for just over $40,000 and Blom looked him up. Galfond was the first to show and flipped up Kc-Jc-7c-Ks for kings-full and Blom mucked. That pot was worth a healthy $263,600 and Galfond also scooped pots of $226,800 and $220,500.

Was watching Isildur this morning. He sat down at the 300/600 PLO table with 50,000 and three hands later he had 243,000.

Can I get a 50,000 stake? These guys play like money is nothing.

The ups and downs of isildur1 was exciting..but these days, it's just like a "oh, really?"

Inevtiably; we all know he will lose the full $5million he has made since 2013..I mean, he's already lost 1.5million already.

It's just crazy numbers, I guess he can afford it so carries on.

He must have multiple millions in the bank.

The numbers are messed up in the article if I'm reading it correctly.

First session - Galfond +76,000
Second session - Galfond +415,000
Third session - Galfond +28,000
Fourth session - +370,000

All of that = 889,000, not 1,080,000. Not sure where the other 200,000 came from

Hard to belive he won 5 million already in 2013? are those numbers right?We are only on 15th day of the month of the new year.wow. If he loses all that,that would just show a complete sick lack of respect for money IMO.Hope he hangs on to some of it and has someone else who manages some of his money for him then.
