Isildur1 drops $1.5 million, and the top 20 poker hotties. Stimulate your mind and your body with today’s PTP Hit and Run.

Remember when Isildur1 one was up more than $3 million for the year at Full Tilt Poker’s high-stakes tables? Yesterday? Well, the mystery Swede cut his profit for the year in half after suffering $1.6 million in losses to Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond on Wednesday. And he also dropped $900K to Tom “durrrr” Dwan. In all he was down $1.5 million for the day, with profitable sessions included. Such roller coasters.

Top 20 poker hotties? Count us in. Maxim released its list of the beautiful women of the game, complete with a photo gallery here. And some analysis here, from Bluff. A lot of them seem to just be hot women who play poker once in a while. Spoiler alert: Annette Oberstad is not on the list.
