Ilari Sahamies, better known by his online screenname of “Ziigmund” at Full Tilt Poker, has recently begun playing on PokerStars and made $50,000 on his first session. He took on Blom and wound up down $150,000 to his fellow Scandinavian. Twenty to thirty buy-in victories are becoming far more commonplace in heads-up Omaha now.

One of their pots was a gigantic 2,000 big blind behemoth that occurred midway through the session. Isildur1 opened the action with a button raise to $150 and Sahamies, under the screen name Ilari FIN, 3-bet to $450. This had been happening in every hand. Isildur1 made it $1,350 to go and Sahamies bumped it up to $4,050. Not to be deterred by the pre-flop 5-bet, Blom raised to $12,150 and Sahamies made the call.

Finally we saw a Ks-5s-4h flop and Sahamies bet the pot; Blom raised and just like that we had a $101,000 pot. Sahamies turned over Kh-6h-Jc-Td and Blom flipped Ad-9d-Ah-7s. The aces held up and Isildur1 took down a $101,000 pot. Just last night he took on the likes of Scott “urnotindangr” Palmer and is at the time of writing down $55,000.
