LarsLuzak ($42,154) played $100/$200 NL hold-em against luckexpress10 ($14,526.50). LarsLuzak was also sitting at the Ivey Deathmatch with $100k but Phil Ivey did not show up to accept the challenge. As soon as I sat down and started to observe the table luckexpress10 went on a roll. He won every large hand and at one point had $64k when larsluzak had to buy in again for another $20k.
Gus Hansen sat down at a $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi game at Full Tilt Poker. Not long after sitting down (I am pretty sure it was the first hand at the table) playing with 16k against FinddaGrind who also had 16k had a huge first hand. They both ended up all-in after the river was dealt. Gus Hansen lost the hand and FinddaGrind raked in a pot worth $31,999.50 with two pair.
The first hand did not phase Gus Hansen as he quickly bought in for another 16k. Seven hands later he met the same fate as he went all in against FinddaGrind who had a six high straight. Gus Hansen only had a pair of eights and lost the pot worth $27,599.50.
polit decided he would play at the table with $12,455.50 and soon got a lion’s share of Gus Hansen’s third 16k buy-in. He beat Gus Hansen’s Flush with a higher flush and raked in a pot of $25,110.
John Juanda ($64,407), Gus Hansen ($52,493.50), Idontgiveashi ($60,740), sigminator ($12,594), MoodDisorder ($7,200), nflnflnfl ($7,400) DanDock21 and Phil Curtis ($11,994) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi.
DanDock sat down mid game and had a hard time keeping his chips as he kept losing in showdowns. From what I could tell it looks like he bough in 4 times with $8k. Gus Hansen did well as he won a couple of the showdowns against DanDock and left with $76k.
Mike Matusow ($15,731) played against sopwith ($52,623), lonesomegeorge1 ($31,608.50) and Sexyhotness ($10,000) who was sitting out. They were playing $500/$1000 Limit Omaha H/L.
After about 15 hands John Juanda joined the table with a $20,000 chip stack. The average pot in the game was $5992 and they were seeing 94 H/Hr! When I left Matusow had more then $23k while Juanda also had about the same going up about $3k from when he started.
Niki Jedlicka ($8,000), LarsLuzak ($31,199) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against FromAbove ($26,661.50)
RaidenWins ($21,994) and Idontgiveashi ($93,233) . This high stakes game was full of huge pots with an average pot worth $8000 dollars and 73 H/hr.
Niki Jedlicka did well going from $8000 to $22,977.50 in the course of 19 hands. At the expense of Idontgiveashi who went down to $73,206 in that same period. Didn’t take long though before Idontgiveashi to get closer to where he started when he won a pot worth $18,497.
I was checking out the Limit Omaha H/L area of full tilt poker and a screenname name caught my eye “TexDolly” I know that Doyle Brunson is nicknamed the Texas Dolly. So I googled “TexDolly” and sure enough Doyle Brunson uses the name when playing at Full Tilt Poker.
The stakes were $1000/$2000 with texdolly ($13,492) against Steel Bunny ($25,482.50), CheeseHead14 ($64,489.50) and jidenok ($36,497). Well I wasn’t able to watch Doyle Brunson for long as he lost his money in three consecutive hands. He then quickly left the table. I wasn’t able to see what Doyle Brunson had because he mucked his hands after losing them to a full house, straight, flush and then another straight! Talk about some tough hands to beat…
Gus Hansen ($32,597), Ziigmund ($30,800) and David Benyamine ($16,599) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi. A few more players joined the game including SheFalls, u2tilted2da and CaesyAtTheBat. The average pot was very high at $9,116 and 74 H/Hr.
There was a lot of action at the table and all three original players did well with the high stakes hands. When I stopped watching Hansen had $40k, Ziigmund $66k and Benyamine $34k.
Mike Matusow ($7,983) was playing against Semetary ($11,932) and I watched about 50 hands of the action. They were playing $200/$400 Limit Omaha H/L. There weren’t a lot of huge hands in the game but a lot of 1-3k hands.
Mike Matusow ended up with $16,074… close to doubling up his stack. Nice to see Matusow doing well because I haven’t seen him play for awhile so hopefully if he does good this poker session he will be logging more regularly at Full Tilt Poker.
Roland de Wolfe ($8,000), David Benyamine ($25,385), SirWatts ($14,398), Idontgiveashi ($54,996) and Gus Hansen ($6,760.50) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi.
Roland de Wolfe bought in with $8k and it lasted 8 hands before it was gone talk about a lousy investment. Gus Hansen did the exact opposite by going from $6,760 all the way to $93,722 in 11 hands. Wow! Now that is the kind of investment I would like to be a part of.
Thomas Wahlroos ($30,368) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi at Full Tilt Poker against Ziigmund ($39,400), BlueWolff ($29,236), jidenok ($23,673), FinddaGrind ($112,833.50) and MrSmokey1 ($19,391).
Thomas Wahlroos was on fire when I watched him winning two large pots against Ziigmund. He won $76k when his three of a kind kings beat Ziigmund’s three of a kind jacks! He then won another $23k when his queen high flush beat Ziigmund’s jack high flush! Ziigmund was I am sure fuming at this point and kept buying in for the standard $40k. Thomas Wahlroos took the money and ran… When I started watching he had a little over $30k and he left with ($91,518). I only watched him for a little over 5 mins…Talk about a payday!
