But when famous Finnish maniac Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies runs well, he really runs well.
Continuing the torrid run he's been on for the last month, everyone's favorite wild card gave the railbirds a treat this morning by running roughshod over the legendary Phil Ivey in a short session on Ivey's own home court - his personal $500/$1,000 Ivey Thunderdome Pot-Limit Omaha table at Full Tilt.
Granted, he had already lost about the same amount in a couple sessions earlier in the day, but the total profit for Ziigmund in this one: Roughly $300k, with three huge pots at $200k+ the major tipping points.
Check out the hand histories for the smaller two, for $195k and $217k respectively, #HandHistory:7548161063:1901:here# and #HandHistory:7549168025:1901:here.#

The capper? The biggest hand by far today, for $257k, with a rivered jack filling Ziig up and saving his six-high straight from being edged out by Ivey's seven-high straight.

* Note: Neither plaintive staring nor calfskin couch confirmed.
