We all know that Ziigmund, aka Ilari Sahamies, can suffer some brutal swings in his gambling career. Of course, we’re not especially surprised to hear that his most recently-announced six-figure score didn’t come from the Pot-Limit Omaha tables at Full Tilt.

Durrrr and Antonius dominating online
2010 got off to a horrible start for Patrik Antonius. With one horrible session after another he was soon in the can to the tune of millions of dollars. April appears to have brought the mighty Finn's mojo back with a steady run of profits. Antonius is up by around $535,000 this month, a much better showing than the start of the year.

Tom Dwan's amazing $6.5m comeback
Last year when Isildur1 demolished (should that be durrrrmolished?) Tom "durrrr" Dwan's bankroll in his first rise to high stakes, many commentators - not Bluff Europe, we might add - predicted that the young Full Tilt Pro was finished at high stakes.

Tom “durrrr” Dwan – “I should be playing smaller.”
We recently reported that Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies went at it at the nosebleed PLO tables on Full Tilt. What we didn’t mention is that they weren’t just playing $500/$1,000 but $3,000/$9,000 as they put in an automatic raise and 3-bet before every flop.
Patrik Antonius wins a quarter million at Full Tilt
Dwan’s results overshadowed that of Finnish legend Patrik Antonius, but it is worthy of note that the beautiful baldy managed to rack up a $250,000 win at Full Tilt Poker. Despite being very likely the biggest online winner in history, Antonius has lost millions this year and a winning session is rare for him online nowadays.
