The martonas comeback began with a $200k win on Sunday night. But when the Swedish gambler tried for a repeat the next night, he lost over $500k to Tom “kingsofcards” Marchese and Aaron “aejones” Jones.
If martonas is one thing, he’s persistent. Last night he returned to the highest stakes games online, and for the second night in a row, he managed to get beat out of half a million dollars.
Almost every nose-bleed stakes player in the game could smell the blood in the water, causing an absolute frenzy of action.
In fact, the top 25 pots of the night alone amounted to over $6.1 million wagered.
Patrik Antonius, who’s appearances on Full Tilt’s tables has been sparse in contrast to last year, has returned with a vengeance, proving once again he is one of the most prolific online players ever to take a seat at the virtual felt.
Last night Antonius was involved in four pots worth over $300k, including the largest pot of the night worth a massive $496,023. Antonius won the top pot by snapping off Marchese’s bluff, making a $101k call on the river holding nothing but king-high.
Despite losing the half-million dollar pot, Marchese managed to minimize his losses down to just over $100k.
Playing on the same tables as Antonius and Marchese, POKERBLUFFS picked his spots well, playing fewer hands than his opponents, but taking down the majority of those he chose to play.
At the end of the night, POKERBLUFFS finished with an impressive profit of $488k.
On top of all the No-Limit Hold’em action, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Phil Ivey took turns pulling down massive pots while playing heads up $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha.
Even after winning all five of their largest heads-up pots, Sahamies was unable to leave the table with any more than $150k of Ivey’s money. However, by winning some large pots in other games, Sahamies brought his final result on the night to just over $230k.
The night was a complete bust for Ashton “theASHMAN103″ Griffin who cut his month’s profit of nearly $1 million in half, losing close to $480k playing NLHE.
Regardless of who won or lost over the last few days, one thing is almost certain: As long as martonas continues to return to the tables, the action will be through the roof.
Here are the three largest pots of the night, head to to see the rest:
