I never thought Sorel Mizzi was a bad poker player, but it seems like he is just too greedy and keeps trying to make money the easy way. In the past few years Mizzi has been involved in several cheating scandals related to multi-accounting, colluding, amongst others.

Once more, Sorel Mizzi is being tracked down in relation to a cheating scandal that has not been confirmed. (more…)

The virtual high stakes poker games never seize to amaze me. The pros just throw crazy amounts of money in which makes the action more intense and enjoyable everytime (regardless of how the games make me wish I had THAT much money available to gamble).

Anyway, Gus Hansen had been on a hot streak over the past couple of weeks but lately he dropped over half a million at the tables against some of the toughest opponents in a six-hours long gambling session.

First he played against Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang and he lost over $57,000 in 176 hands of $500/$1000 Cap Pot Limit Omaha. Next came Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies who played against Hansen for nearly three hours and drained $375,282 from him in 686 hands.

Sahamies logged off and along came (more…)

The Full Tilt Poker high stakes games are always extremely interesting to watch. Mainly because the world’s top pros compete there and bet mad money at every game. Last week the action got intense when Cole South had a super week at the high stakes table.

South probably scored his highest record for one day ever taking $1.1 million away from the other players. He took about $750,000 from recognized pro Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies and another $350,000 from great poker player Patrik Antonius.

Cole South also managed to take the largest pot of the year so far off Ziigmund with a value of $634,777. The day prior to this, South had been playing Phil Ivey heads up at 300/600 PLO and took $152,000. Cole South is on fire!

We have been hearing a lot about new online poker phenomenon Isildur1 but so far there have not been real details on the identity of this player.  We were aware that he was a professional and talented gambler from Sweden but did not know his name nor real location.
