Big high-stakes swings not involving Isildur1, stalking Evelyn Ng, and the Turbo Takedown. It’s a cornucopia of poker news in today’s PTPN Hit and Run.
If nothing else, the arrival Isildur1 has made the world of high-stakes poker on Full Tilt Poker more volatile and interesting to watch. On Thanksgiving, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies was up about $2.3 million, while Patrik Antonius was down $2.7M. Read about it here.
The second episode of Poker 2Nite on Fox Sports Net aired this week, video of the first segment below. Head over to Pokerati to see all the segments. Among the big topics is isildur1 and the record pot he played with Patrik Antonius for more than a million dollars.
And more on Isildur1: Tao of Poker’s Dr. Pauly weighs in on who the unknown Swedish player is here. Pretty funny read.
If you like knowing everything that’s going on in poker player Evelyn Ng’s life, you might be a stalker. Or maybe you just watch her vlog, embedded below for your viewing pleasure. Apparently she gave up smoking and played lots of DJ Hero. Not exactly glamorous.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act may have played a role in the murder of pokerlistings.com founder Andreas Oscarsson. Story here. The report says that a deal involving the Web site was affected by the UIGEA, and that deal turning south may have been the motive for the murder.
In case you missed it, PokerStars has brought back its “Turbo Takedown.” It is scheduled for this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time, with a buy-in of 3,000 frequent player points and a guaranteed prize pool of a million dollars. The winner gets a sweet Audi, too.
PokerStars isn’t the only site with great bonuses — check out UB.com to get your rakeback account today.
