Spotlight On Full Tilt High Rollers & High Stakes Action

October 27, 2009

All we seem to hear about as far as the high stakes tables at FullTilt are concerned is the ever-grueling dual duels between Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius. But surely that’s not all the action in Full Tilt’s high rollers’ corner. So what else been going on at the high stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker lately?

Well after a bit of a dry spell last week, the action there is actually better than ever, with a new high roller making his presence on the scene in Isildur1. Playing the $100/$200 Pot Limit Omaha tables, the player bounced back from a half-million dollar losing streak over about 4,000 hands to win $400,000 off of Haseem Qureshi, a Full Tilt Pro.

Also playing for those $100,000 plus pots are the likes of Brian Townsend, Taylor Caby, David Benefield, Brian Hastings, and Cole South.

And seeming to be more attracted to playing against Full Tilt Pros than necessarily competing at any particular level are familiar names (or usernames, rather) like Urindanger, Ziigmund, OMGClayAiken, and David Oppenheim.

And by the way, if you haven’t heard this wild story – regular Full Tilt high-stakes player Guy Laliberte is blasting off into space…literally. After coming from homelessness as a young man to grow up and found the Cirque du Soleil, the billionaire from Canada has reportedly lost over $17 million on Full Tilt Poker, but says he has no plans on giving up the game because he enjoys it so. Better for all you sharks out there. But you do have to wait for his feet to touch the ground again. We doubt there’s Full Tilt Poker at the International Space Station – but we could be wrong.
