South’s game turns South, and Poker2Nite premieres season two. Check it out in the PTP Hit and Run.

Some interesting nuggets from a high-stakes report over at pokernewsdaily.com. First, Cole South, who has been killing it Full Tilt’s tables early in 2010, took a big hit in one session, losing about a million. Don’t worry, he’s still up more than $2 million for the year. Also, more scuttlebutt about the possibility that Isildur1 and DrPill share accounts at FTP. Here’s some chat between South and Tom Dwan:
durrrr: hav u played pill?
