Ziigmund Surprisingly Wins
The Full Tilt online casino poker site is well known for having popular
high-stakes poker tournaments that attract some of the top internet poker
players in the world. And most of the regular high-stakes players at Full Tilt
recognize that Phil Ivey is the “king” of his domain at the site’s high-stakes
tables. But all of that changed last week when Illari “Ziigmund”Shamies took
home a large pot of money that most at the online casinos poker table just
assumed would be won by Ivey.
Ivey is so well known at the Full Tilt online casino poker room that the
ultra-high-stakes table at Full Tilt is often simply referred to as the “Ivey
Thunderdome” because he so often takes home the big money from the table.
Ziigmund’s recent coup though amounted to a bad day for Ivey at his so called “Thunderdome.”
When Ivey lost the Pot-Limit Omaha to Ziigmund, many online casinos poker
players watching were just amazed.
Winning the Pot-Limit Ohama meant taking home the hundreds of thousands of
dollars in the pot , and perhaps Ivey was just having an off day, but Ziigmund
left the high-rollers table with the winning pot. And though some of the online
casinos players were shocked by Ivey’s loss to Ziigmund, a Finnish poker player
with a growing list of successful wins, the fact is that the this is simply one
day. There are always more online casino poker games to win, and always more
money just waiting to go to the poker player who happens to be on his game that
day.
