All the big and exciting action over at Full Tilt Poker right now seems to be focused on the high-roller tables, and namely on the ongoing battle of Tom “durrrr” Dwan and the still unidentified Swedish sensation isildur1 against each other and big name Full Tilt Pros Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius.
Just last week we announced that, after isildur1 had swept $6 million off the high-stakes heads-up Pot Limit Omaha tables the previous week, he lost approximately $878,000 in a single pot to Patrik Antonius, giving Antonius the world’s record for the largest online poker pot ever won.
Well, apparently that wasn’t good enough for Antonius. Because just the other day (November 22, to be precise), he broke his own record by winning a larger single pot of over $1 million, also on Full Tilt Poker, and wouldn’t you know it? He once again claimed that prize from new rival, that irrepressible Swede isildur1?
The pot was $1,356,946, to be exact, and it now stands as the new world’s record for biggest online poker pot ever won. oVerall in that one sitting in which that record-breaking pot occurred, Isildur1 lost $2.1 million to Antonius.
Meanwhile, Phil Ivey has gotten into the battle, challenging Isildur1 several times over. He is the other player, along with Antonius, to be the only ones ever to beat Isildur1 (taking $2.1 million from him in one sitting); Tom Dwan is still trying. But in this most recent challenge, Ivey lost about $1.1 million of his take.
