Ilari FIN Crushes mTw-DaviN - Wins $468k
Good times for Ilari Fin as he wins close to $1/2 million over at PokerStars yesterday
After a disappointing return to the tables of Full Tilt as "Ziigmund", Ilari Sahamies redeemed himself yesterday playing as "Ilari FIN" over at the $100/$200 heads up PLO tables of PokerStars, crushing mTw-DaviN for over $460k
The pair played across two tables in a session that lasted less than an hour. It was one way traffic all the way as Ilari steamrollered his opponent without giving him a chance to get any sort of foothold.
You would expect with such a big win in such a short space of time that there would be some pretty impressive pots taken. However, there wasn't a single six figure pot from the encounter as mTw-DaviN would have needed to go above his $50k starting stack, something he was never really able to do for the duration of the match, such was Ilari's dominance. Here is the biggest hand the pair played;
A brave yet ultimatley unsuccessful call from mTw-DaviN as Ilari's Ace high flush beats DaviN's turned straight - $99,998k pot
The biggest pots of the day also came from PokerStars high stakes tables as wilhasha and Ben86 spent much of the day (and in fact the early hours of this morning) facing off at the $200/$400 NLHE tables. Between them we saw seven six +$100k pots yesterday, and although wilhasha won the biggest four, it was Ben86 who definitely won the battle, winning over $200k from his opponent. Here are each of their biggest hands;
Ben86 tries a bluff with his busted straight draw but is picked off by wilhasha who flopped top pair - $116.8k pot
This tim Ben86 isn't bluffing is he rivers the nuts and gets paid off by wilhasha's top pair - $108.4k pot
Also doing well yesterday was Phil "Polarizing" Ivey who put in a huge number of hours yesterday at the mixed game tables to end the day a $261.7k winner, which is certainly a start to repairing the damage he's done to his bankroll this week. It was also a +$200k day for Erik1223 who took $225.2k at the mixed tables. The big losers in these games were patpatpanda and punting-peddler who lost over $700k between them with mastrblastr, Poker_KaMI, and DealMeInFast also all making six figure scores in the mixed games. The other six figure winner yesterday was trex313 whose $108.5k win came in some $100/$200 heads up matches with Isildur1. Isildur1 managed to end the day an $85k winner after wins at $50/$100 PLO and 2-7 TD against Rui Cao.
With Isildur1 already at the tables today it will be interesting to see if he can string together two winning days, something he hasn't managed for a while now.

Davin flopped Q-high straight and started betting and calling when the turn completed a flush and the river paired the board..
