Isildur1 Loses $4.2M to Brian Hastings

The ridiculous swings of “Isildur1″ reached a crescendo when he dropped $4.2 million to Brian Hastings in a single session.

The session at the high-stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker by Hastings is believed to be the most profit logged in 24 hours in the history of online poker. And Isildur1, who was once at $6 million in overall profit at the site is now down more than $1.5M in his history on FTP. He is down about $3M in just the past 24 hours. The play between the two took place at the $500-$1,000 pot-limit Omaha tables.

Once again, the poker universe is wondering if this is the end of the still-unknown Swedish player in the nosebleed limits of online poker. But every time the end of Isildur1 has been forecasted, he’s bounced back. And he’s not bust yet, he left the session with Hastings with several hundred thousand, at least.

This time seems different, though. There was some real evidence that Isildur1 was on tilt this time, most notably this chat from near the end of his session with Hastings, when Hastings was ready to call it a night:

Isildur1: ??????????
Brian Hastings: getting very tired…
Brian Hastings: i feel bad quitting tho
Brian Hastings: would be be cool w/ playing someone else?
Isildur1: just f off
Isildur1: wåfä’qqqqqqqnhjwe4nm
Isildur1: dW
Isildur1: GFE4¨ÅN,K N,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,KN,K N,KN,KN,K3
Isildur1: Q
Isildur1: u know how lucky u are ?
Brian Hastings: yes i know
Isildur1: i can promise this is the worst
Brian Hastings: ill give you 30 more min if you want
Isildur1: luck anyone had
Brian Hastings: but im rly tired
Isildur1: k 30 mins more
Isildur1: take my last $$
Isildur1: i dont want it

This wasn’t the biggest pot between the two, but it’s the only video of the session that is floating around on the internet. Here Hastings counterfeits Isildur1’s two pair, although he also had a flush draw, as well.

On the flip side, it was a life-changing session for Hastings, who was up about $800K for the year before the session, and today he is up about $5M for the year, the third-most profit at FTP in 2009 behind Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey.
